Re: Off topic more on Re: Root canal vs. extraction - WAS: bad breat

Hi Carol,

Sorry to confuse you - I saw Will's post and wanted to offer my recent

experience along the same lines. I was just speaking to my personal

experience with a root infection of unknown origin-I don't accept the

dentist's contention that my only recourse is to extract or have a root

canal. I have no idea about a cracked tooth, but it would seem to be another

matter altogether. The crack could allow foreign matter into the tooth, and

I would think that pressure on the tooth could keep splitting it apart. Long

ago I had a cracked tooth and had a crown put on, but didn't like the fact

that they ground the tooth down to nothing to fit the crown on top.
