  a lot of people are unaware of how expensive it is to keep your tooth if you want to save it from extraction. If the decay has already reached your nerves at the bottom of your tooth, you have 2 choices, less expensive : extraction, and there goes your teeth forever. Loosing a teeth means that the remaining set of tooth will soon become loosen due to the gap and so keeping the tooth clean requires more work.

  The other option : save it by doing root canal and follow by crowning. Root canal requires 3 to 4 visits to the dentist to remove all the nerves and then cement it with hardening material and that means your teeth is now dead and so becomes brittle, so hard food is out. The only way to save it from cracking up is to do a crown. A crown is like a false teeth that is hollow so it can cap on the dead tooth to keep it in tact. The whole process will costs $600 to $700 dollars.

  I speak from my experiences of spending about $3000 to keep my big molar tooths from extractions so I could eat normally. Don't wait once there is pain, go to the dentist as soon as possible if you want to keep your teeth and save your money. If the decay is still minor, just a simple filling is good enough.    

  Brushing is not good enough, need to floss to get most of the bacteria from the sides of the tooth. Twice yearly check up will save you lost of money later on. Like they say, be true to your tooth or they will be false to you.
