Dental second opinion for a bad tooth
I have one tooth in the back where it had some decay on it and I brok a part of it a few days back. I do not have dental insurance but I did go to a dentist and was told that i should pull it and get a bridge or implant. Both would cost me more money then what I have. I was hoping just to save the tooth.
If I have no choice and I have to pull the tooth how bad would it be to just leave it at that. I can afford to pull the tooth since that is only $89. Should I get a second dental opinion to see if the tooth can be saved? Opinons please
