If you choose to do nothing and do not have root canal treatment, at some stage the tooth will cause you a bigger problem as the infection remains. Extraction is the only option and possibilities for filling the gap are:
- Dental implant- a device that is surgically placed in the jaw bone, with a replacement tooth crown on top.
- Bridge- a false tooth joined to the one or two of the adjacent teeth.
- Removable denture (plate)
