Just something to think about: it’s usually better and sometimes cheaper to save a tooth. If you remove a tooth there is a lot more healing and it’s more painful. You’ll also probably have to get a bridge so your teeth don’t start moving. And I think you have to clean underneath bridges? That’s like the only procedure I never had. I don’t know if it happens with one tooth, but if you lose a lot of teeth, your jaw will deteriorate over time. I wish I did better with my teeth sooner.

I hear you. I guess if it came down to it-that it would probably be better to save a tooth. I neglected my teeth for a long time. I mean I brush regularly but was never a regular at the dentist until these past few months.
