Where's that chick who said it was in my jaw? A matter of a simple addition, miss....for morgies, a root canal and crown is ESSENTIAL over an extraction. I do not care what your(anyone's) teeth look like: the infections are = infestations in one's mouth, and must be addressed, however not by extraction. Ever if it can be helped. A hole left is a direct avenue for infection at the deepest level (bone). I fought my tooth infection for three months (from before Christmas, as records will show) before succumbing to extraction surgery---I believed it to be the only reasonable option. I was heartily wrong. Do not extract teeth. Go to mexico, get crowns, whatever. eat more kale.
