I hate root canals. Just yank the tooth, and go the route of having an implant put in

It will last your whole life, will be stronger than a root canal, without the additional hassels

JMHO

Despite going to some of the best dentists in NYC, all of my root canals have gone bad in time, after much pain and expense

Then there is the risk of needing an apicoectomy, which they never tell you about

I have had to have two apicoectomies - which is where afer a root canal the very very tip of the root still has a re occurrence of the infection and they have to do surgery through the gum to clip off the end of the root.

All this to try and save the root canal

Painful, risky (there was the risk they could injure a nerve close to the root, and leave my mouth permanently numb) and pointless

I ended up losing the teeth anyway

Between the cost of the crown (they have soared with inflation), the risk of apicoectomy and the fact that it's still a dead tooth filled with poison, I now say no thank you

The next root canal I needed, I just had them yank it.

We then put in a titanium post and went the way of a permanent implant. I've replaced all the root canal teeth with implants at this point.

I'm much happier. Thats just my experience, your mileage may vary - as they say
