2. What happens if I extract the furthest back tooth (fistula tooth)? but infection has spread already? Does it mean I need to keep extracting each tooth? My Endodontist examined the tooth beside it and it's still fine at the moment.
3. So far, I have asked many people and they suggested to me to extract tooth because:
- This tooth has been infected for 2 years already
- The gums of the Fistula tooth don't look healthy compared to other areas
- A dental hygienist recommended me to extract because she said my tooth is weak. For example, if I wiggle the tooth, it moves more than my regular tooth.
I kind of decided to extract the bottom back molar tooth...but I don't intend to do TOOTH IMPLANT. Is it a big risk? My mom extracted her molar back tooth at 15 years old and tells me that it's OK.
If anyone else is reading, please provide suggestions/or your experience.
Thank you for your advice,

Hi fistula_help,
This thread has gotten buried so it could be that Bryanna missed these last few questions. If you are still looking for answers to these questions, perhaps you could start a new thread. Or if you ended up getting the information you required, then no problem.
Best,
