Hi Carleton2013,

Thanks for sharing your story. Do you have dental coverage with your full time employer? Some universities/colleges also cover about 75% of dental coverage as well if you are a student.

In my case, I have some fear extracting my molar tooth (the last tooth at the back). Thanks for letting me know about your online research. I should decide by this week and know if I will extract/or do root canal. I'm the type of person that wants to try before extracting a tooth.

Extracting the tooth means 100% is solved. I am kind of thinking about this because the molar tooth is quite weak right now. If I wiggle it, it moves whereas my other tooth doesn't move.

I was also referred to another place to extract my tooth: Metropolitan Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Centre

Also, I don't think we should go to a basic dentist to extract tooth.
