What say @TX OMFS about all this?
Have you learned the lesson yet? It will keep repeating until you do.Every root canal I've had the ended up having to pull the tooth anyway. The money I spent on those canals I could have pulled all 5 teeth and at least gotten ONE implant.

Destroy?..lolLast one I had done they said they had to destroy two good teeth on either side to do the bridge. Why destroy two other good teeth to kind of save that one? Implant was the way to go for me. Pulled just the bad one and replaced it alone. Some dentists I have spoken with said leaving a hole there with no tooth isn't a good thing either.
I got out to sleep for that procedure. Easy peasy.I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled, at the same time, before I got out of the Army. Returned to duty too. Not fun.
I was given excellent dental care while a Warrant Officer Candidate, as Enlisted Soldier the care was not good.I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled, at the same time, before I got out of the Army. Returned to duty too. Not fun.
Well I got it all done in one go I was in the dentist chair for 12 hours. I was awake, I'm a tougher SOB than I look like ;-) Dentist said he'd never seen someone do that many canals and stay awake much less not complain.

Never had a root canal, but I had my wisdom teeth out in my early 20's. Uppers were super fast and easy, lowers were severely impacted and had to come out in pieces. That bang is pretty loud in your head when they snap.I got out to sleep for that procedure. Easy peasy.

Did mine under a local anesthetic. The mental part of it must be what gets to people, because I didn't have much pain or discomfort. I actually had the surgeon show me the uppers because I didn't believe it when he moved to the lowers so quickly. The lower sockets bled for quite a while until my g/f went and bought tea bags to bite down on.
Dentist told me that. I asked him to try again just one more time. He did and I didn't feel a thing as the tooth came out. The complete lack of sensation after he'd spent so much time pushing, pulling repositioning tools, etc. was very, very weird.Last time I had a tooth pulled doctor tried then said I'm going to break it and take it out in pieces.
The care was okay, just as active duty, they didn't want to sedate due to sending you back to duty. Just trying to get them removed before being discharged.I was given excellent dental care while a Warrant Officer Candidate, as Enlisted Soldier the care was not good.
Root canals were a pain.
Not destroy I guess but severely ground down to the nub they affix them to. No need for any of that with an implant. Leave the healthy teeth alone and just take care of the ones that need attention.Destroy?..lol
They shape them so the bridge fits on them..Ive had a bridge from 2005 and its just fine.
Its a porcelain cap that covers the 2 teeth on each side and has the replacement tooth built in..forming the bridge
Same for me while I was in AIT. Took all 4 of them and gave me 24 hour quarters and then back at it. The instructors took my pain pills too. Got to keep busy on CQ duty I suppose.I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled, at the same time, before I got out of the Army. Returned to duty too. Not fun.
