Save the tooth. Even one salvageable tooth is worth keeping.
When the nerve of a tooth is infected, root canal treatment saves the tooth that would otherwise be lost.
His father's advice stayed with Dr. Boyajian through his career: "If you become a dentist try to save your patient's natural teeth. Even if there is one salvageable tooth, leave it." Extracting a problem tooth often costs more in the end and causes problems for the teeth beside it.
