[recycled sixtie]

How far do you go with saving a tooth? Went to the dentist today to check out an uncomfortable tooth. Doctor says that I either have a cracked tooth or a tooth that the root is dying. Either way the tooth does wobble a bit. Dentist is sending me to an endodontic to drill the filling out and determine whether the tooth is cracked or not.
If cracked the tooth should be pulled and if not then a root canal can be done.

Fortunately the tooth is the very bottom left anyway so it does not have to be replaced. Anybody had this before? I am tempted just to get it extracted rather than go through all this bother of probing first. Your thoughts?
