Hello. I have a RC done 5 years ago and today I went to the dentist because I've been having some minor pain. The x-ray shows that there is infection under the RC so I was sent to a RC specialist. She suggested to remove the tooth which also has cavity, and get an implant. My question is: is this really the only solution? There's no way to save the tooth? Since I will be traveling the next few weeks, i wonder how long can I wait to extract the tooth? Thanks!
