Have medium pain toothache off and on for a week weeks.

Am finally able to get an appointment but its a week from today.. =/

Anyway, my question is will I need a root canal? I look in the mirror and see a hole between my 2 upper side teeth..or will they remove the tooth? If they do, I'll look like a hillbilly..soo is there a way for them to save it ? what do you think if its between 2 teeth..it hurts right now about a 6/10.
is it normal to get a tooth pulled if it just hurts a medium amount?

Is It Normal?

  • If the hole is between two teeth I don't think that's going to be root canaled. The roots aren't between teeth. However I feel your pain and then some. Just this past weekend I cried myself to sleep from my tooth hurting so bad. And I had major head/face aches all weekend. It was not fun! I can't afford the dentist :( soon I'll be thinking how could I have afforded to let this go?! My teeth look good when I smile, but in the back its a different story my friend. Good thing you got an appointment. Tooth pain is the worst!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Quick, go to the dentist! Your tooth is probably absessing or will soon. If you leave it much longer you will need a root canal. Absessed teeth hurt! But don't worry about root canals, they don't hurt that much, they are just super expensive!
