Infection in RCT tooth
I am 24 years old. I usually smoke 1-2 cigarettes a day. I got a Root Canal Treatment on a molar tooth of mine around 10 years ago. Now, the tooth has developed infection and 2 dentists told me I need to get it removed. One said I'll have to get the artificial implant after 4 months of removal, not any sooner in any case and the other said only 15 days. Which one should I go with?
