Two failed root canals and one failed apicoectomy (sp?) on the first upper molar! I'm at my wit's end because the pain (throbbing intermittent nerve pain) has returned. Endodontist suggested I could try another apicoectomy (unlikely to work but he says worth a try) or get it pulled. This tooth has now given me problems for over 18 years. If I do get it pulled apparently the sinus is so low that it may not be a good candidate for an implant: not enough bone structure. So I need to think about a bridge. Anyway--just expressing dismay and would like to hear similar experiences! Although I did have my wisdom teeth pulled when I was in my 20s, I haven't had a tooth pulled since that time (I'm now 56) and am freaking out a bit!
