Hi A.... Teeth are tricky... And, the pain they can cause for such small things is incredibly humbling... Just a few weeks ago I had an abcessed tooth... The dentist who diagnosed it told me one of his patients said she'd rather have triplets than an abcessed tooth (and she'd had triplets)... So, if you can decide what's best for you before it gets worse, I'd recommend that, but I couldn't begin to say what that'd be for you... When I was trying to decide what to do with mine, a friend lent me this book: Root Canal Cover-Up by George E. Meinig... It was really helpful, so if you can find a copy (there are some used on Amazon), I'd recommend it... Good luck! ...K.
