so then i read if i just have it pulled the other teeth in the mouth can loosen and move since there's nothing in that space.
Great options.
Meanwhile i have a headache and feel sick from the infection. All because i keep clenching my teeth.

I hate the dentist got a nice five hundred dollar bill from them in my mailbox Friday

Neither option is appealing.

Don't follow people's online advice. You always get worse case scenario. Have you been to a dentist?

oh i went yesterday. I'm on penicillin to squash the infection. But he never warned me of any of these other complications that i have read about.

I took her on a 120 mile road trip today. It was awesome didn't see one cop and the radio worked all day I'm still taking her to my dealer after work on Monday to make sure nothing is loose warranty is up in January so I want to be on the safe side It's nice bumping the stereo without hearing the cracking speaker in the back because GM replaced that for me this past Monday

Like I said, don't go on the internet for that. Technically you could probably die from any operation, but the chances of it happening are so slim it doesn't need to be mentioned.

i'm not worried about death, just whether to have it pulled or do the root canal and crown

last year when i talked about it bothering me he said it would break eventually and we'd crown it. yesterday he said it was infected and it would need the root canal. so then i mentioned i was worried about biting down on it and hurting the top tooth and he said yes that tooth was not perfect already with a filling . so then we just talked about pulling it after that. But seriously everything i read on the internet says never pull a tooth, crown it or get an implant. so now i'm real confused and meanwhile feel like crap.

i had two on my front teeth years ago and my mouth was open for an hour and it hurt my jaw so badly. a couple years later it was still snapping shut on me suddenly.

I think 2 of my siblings got their back teeth pulled. I've never heard anyone say don't pull them.
