I'm considering getting a brace on my lower teeth and need teeth out for this. At my last check up I was told I have an abcess in a tooth which was previously root treated and consequentlly crowned. It's a molar, 2nd from the back. My dentist has offered 4 options for the abcess: remove the crown and leave a space in my mouth, treat infection and recrown, bridge the space or implant.
If I get a brace, can this tooth be one of those to be removed to make space for the work? The internet said teeth imediately after the canine are the ones usually extracted. Would it be possible to remove this one at the back if it's unhealthy and close that space instead?
It makes more sense to me to rid myself of teeth if they're decayed and a failed root treated tooth would be my first choice to have extracted if extraction is necessary.
Is there a dentist who can answer this question for me?
