I had a tooth that needed to be removed last summer. Because of the meds I had taken no one would take it out. I ended up having a root canal and the tooth made much smaller than it was. I've had no trouble since that time.

All the doctors and dentists told me that there was a strong possibility the bone would never heal if I had the tooth removed. Fortunately I didn't have to have it done. My life is so much better without that aching tooth.
