I have eaten on only one side of my mouth for at least a year. The dentist wants to repair it (root canal), but I want it pulled so I will never have to worry about it again. It is the second tooth from the back, so you can't see it.
Do you think there is a particular age you should be to have a tooth removed permanently?
Answer:
Definately get it fixed. If you get it pulled it will make the back tooth move. Also if there is a tooth that bites and touches it it will either drop down (if on top of mouth) or it will raise up (if on bottom). Also wouldn't it be nice to be able to use both sides of your mouth? Root canals really aren't a very big deal. Generally not painful at all. No, there is no age to get a tooth removed permanently. If all of your teeth are in bad shape...then you should get them removed and get dentures. But if it is just one or just a few you should get those fixed. Hope this helps!
i'm 54, have one tooth left...
Once you start pulling them they start getting looser; i gave up my first at 20.
I had five of my adult teeth pulled when i was 12 years old and my teeth have adjusted fine.
I would just have it pulled, you won't miss it for chewing, and don't need it cosmetically: so I wouldn't pay big bucks and go through the pain of a root canal. Maybe if you were just a young kid. Hope this helps!
Get the root canal done. When you have a tooth pulled and don't get an implant or a bridge to take the place it is detrimental to your oral health. Your jaw bone will be absorbed and the tooth behind it will begin to shift, possibly causing a misalignment of your teeth. If the tooth is on the botom and you have it pulled, the tooth directly above it will start to grow down to fill in the gap and it will not be pretty. Get the root canal it is a simple and safe procedure and they will put a cap on the tooth and you likely won't have a further problem down the road.
The root canal will save the tooth. When you remove any tooth, the rest of your teeth can move and cause other problems. I would have the root canal and the "problem" would be gone...not the tooth. Keep as many of your teeth as possible at this point. Having teeth shapes your face...loss of teeth reshapes you face in ways you might not like down the road.
Save the tooth. Even though it seems expansive now it will cost more to extract in long run. As you extract it the gums surrounding it will start to reside and the teeth on both sides will start going in towards one another then those will need pulled and so on. this process can be faster or slower and will differ on each individual however fast or slow, the process will occur. save the tooth now and you wont have to worry about the problems it brings later.
You need to replace the teeth you lose with teeth that can take their own load... else you start to lose teeth
