I’ve recently had an infected back tooth - it’s been agonisingly painful but the dentist has put a dressing on the tooth and given me antibiotics- and said I’m going to have to either have the tooth extracted or have a root canal. I’ve never had a root canal before but they have a reputation for being unpleasant (and can fail) and I’m inclined to have the extraction and have the whole thing over and done with. The tooth apparently has three roots to it so I imagine that won’t help matters. So can I ask if anyone on here has had the experience of having to make this choice - and how did it go? Thanks
