As per my knowledge RCT is not good for long term It can cause many type of degenerative diseases in ones body So please guide me properly what will be a good solution for my health
Having a Root Canal Treatment or Tooth Extraction I will later get tooth fixed after extraction will not let it open for longer time . So just confused about it what should be done or what should not be. Lot many questions are coming to my mind but I don't have any answer
If it is going for root canal treatment or extraction will be decided by your dentist.
If you have an option between extraction and root canal treatment, plz opt for RCT followed by capping.
It saves your natural tooth.
If you go for extraction, you have to get it replaced by a bridge or an implant, which is again an expensive procedure compared to RCT.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist and discuss about your treatment.
