Vichen,

I suggest that you have a complete comprehensive examination and full mouth series of xrays to determine which teeth are healthy and which are not. Then you can discuss treatment options with your dentist.

Regarding the root canaled tooth done 10 yrs ago.... just to clarify, that tooth did not become infected 4 years ago. That tooth has been infected for the entire 10 years or longer. Symptoms of the infection may not have been obvious to you but that does not mean the tooth was healthy after it had the root canal. It just means it was silent until the infection became severe.

Carrying all those root canal like carrying a bomb and make me sick all these years. On the other hands, I am one of those people as you mentioned who have many many root canal in mouth, I don't want to pull up all teeth and have cavitation all over my jaw bone. So should I do? If you were me, do you prefer extraction? My root canal has been there for 10 years, and has infection I think at least for 4 years.
