Glad that you went through it without any problems. Sometimes molars can be really tricky and responsive due to the nerve innervation to the teeth. it's normal the dentist gave you some antibiotic to cover prior to extraction.

hi x3rxus,

your upper/lower first or second molar? probably you should think about replacing it.

hi alygonecrazy,

do you feel pain at night? on/off , prolonged, dull aching pain? pls do visit a dentist asap. there might be chances for you to save it. there are many options these day to prevent tooth being extracted. you can always go for root canal treatment, post and core and crown. it's worthwhile the investment to save your tooth because it will even more expensive to replace it. for instances, implant will cost around rm5000-6000. removal of your teeth may cost around 100-200 in private and cost about less than rm5 in government. to make denture to replace your missing teeth, again there are many ways to replace it. you can have denture false teeth, dental bridges, implants, etc materials. feel free to ask me here. hope to clear your doubts.

hi kimio77,

they always said if you pay peanut then you get monkey. needless to say, it is important to visit a good dentist which charge affordable but not cheap. the charges will really depend on the severity of your gum (gusi) condition. i believe you are experiencing severe inflammation, redness and bleeding when you brush your teeth by now. that caused by debris, plaque, calculus, tartar which contain multiple types of bacteria colonizing your gum. to cure it? well, you have to remove all the factors which cause your gum infection. most likely you are having chronic gingivits (google it),it might worsen to chronic periodontitis (google it).
hope you recover soon.

hi alygonecrazy,

i can understand your situation. better late than never. you might have a chance still to save it. i am sure.

hi x3rxus,

if your other molars are functioning well. definitely not in a hurry. i hope you are aware that there are chances of your opposing tooth might erupt downwards into your missing lower second molar in future. because our tooth naturally has the tendency to fill in spaces. when that happen, you will lose substantial amount space to replace your lower second molar. hope all is well for you.
