Abscess under my tooth - very painful :( What are my options...

[*Beema*]

Thankyou so much for your experience!

Why do you have to have a crown as well? is it because with the RCT it kills the tooth and changes the colour? I want to get an idea of how much this is all going to end up costing me But then again i won't be able to get much done while bump is growing...

My cavity might have been bigger and he was very surprised I wasn't in pain I wish it hadn't been touched!

My mum has had a whole tooth replacement and it was a very long winded process and very expensive, so I think that working on my current tooth would probably be the best, but right now I would rip it out myself it hurts so much and is driving me nutty!

When i was 38 weeks pregnant with DS2 i had an abscess. It's the worst pain i have ever felt in my life! I thought my head would explode with the pain. I was given the option to have it pulled or a root canal. I chose to have it pulled because it was all i could afford plus i wanted the pain to be gone straight away. I still have a bit of a gap there but its at the back so you can't see it. But i have the added advantage of my teeth are bunched up a bit so it is slowly closing the gap and my teeth are straightening out. Which is why i don't mind having had it pulled.
