Hello Bryanna,

I am new to this website and your posts are really informative and impressive.

I sent you a friend request and if you could accept that please.

I am a candidate with TWO root canals done (teeth 30 and 31) about 3 years ago and I recently learnt that at the bottom of teeth 30 there is an infection. I have some picture that I would like to share. I dont know if I can share them here or if I should share them in private via email.

A week ago the pain was unbearable and then I started taking Amoxycillin 500 and Ibuprofen (only when needed). I also did a lot of home remedies - salt water gargles, turmeric powder application etc.

The pain is gone down almost 75%. But there is still some irritation under the tooth.

My options are either to retreat the root canal or get the extraction done.

If I get is extracted then that will leave space between 29 and 31. I dont think I can afford an implant really.

I was wondering if you could take at look at the x-rays I have and suggest. I am assuming that you would ask me to decide for an extraction but I still want to make sure if that is what you would suggest after looking at those x rays.

Hope to hear from you soon!
