Second Chance for a Bad Tooth or Just Pull It?
I've got this tooth that's already had a root canal done a few years back, but now it's acting up again. Dentist says we could try another treatment, but there's no guarantee it'll hold up long-term. Or I could just get it pulled and be done with it. I'm kinda torn...I mean, what if I go through all that hassle again and it still doesn't work? But then again, losing a tooth feels kinda drastic. What would you guys do in my shoes?

Yeah, that's always the tricky part. But honestly, teeth are worth fighting for...once it's gone, it's gone. I'd personally give it another shot - modern treatments can surprise you sometimes. Good luck!
