I would just like to get your opinion.
About 2 months ago my dentist suggested I go to a peridontist to get their opinion as to whether a tooth, that is 8 pocket could be save (it's in the back on top if not next to it's close to my wisdom tooth) before I had bridge work done or I had a partial made. I told him even if the peridontist said I could have partials done, I would not have it done because I didn't want to invest in the money for a partial for just a short period of time. The dentist said said that bridgework would be best for me in that case. I decided to just keep the 8 pocket tooth as long as I could because I could not afford the bridge work.
Now, the dentist saids, I need to have the tooth extracted. The hygenist saids its effecting my other tooth whose pocket is 6, and once the 8 pocket tooth is removed, it will be easier to clean the other tooth and probably save it from decaying because of the 8 pocket tooth.
Going from their suggestion of having partials or bridgework done to having an extraction, seemed to happen so fast.
Does all the above, in your opinion seem normal? |
