I have a large hole in the far back tooth on the left upper side. There was a filling in the tooth at one point, not to sure when it came out. I was in pain back in October so I went to the dentist and they took an xray and stated that the pain was coming from my lower back tooth, inwhich I had a root canal on. But the dentist said that the xray showed a large cavity in the upper tooth. After the root canal everything was fine, until about a month ago. I was waking up in the middle of the night is extreme pain and it is on and off thru out the day. Called the dentist and he gave me antibotics and said I would need a root canal or need to get it pulled (which he was leaning towards). The reason I am holding out is I have no dental insurance and funds are tight. But it to the point now where I am in so pain and can't hold out anymore. So how much is getting a tooth pulled?? Should I get sedated, since its a molar?? and is this the best option??
