How do I talk a dentist into extracting my abscessed tooth instead of pushing for a root canal?

Posted by kmjamal | Alternative Medicines | Wednesday 24 February 2010 12:15 am

abscessed top back molar been infected for over 3 years. Been to dentist after dentist who refuses to extract it. They want to give me a root canal instead. So for 3 years the only positive thing I got out of any dentist was prescribed antibiotics and surgically draining the abscess. Very frustrating dentist are out for the money instead of patient wishes! So what do I do pretend no insurance or try to find a dentist from Mexico who will extract it?

    You cannot be forced into any treatment nor can you be denied any reasonable treatment. If you tell a dentist that you cannot afford a root canal and cannot be taking antibiotics, and you want to have the tooth removed, I’m sure you will find a dentist that would do the extraction. good luck.
