Food and bacteria get trapped in and around teeth much easier when there are braces. If you are not meticulous with your home care, including flossing you will find that cavities will develop rapidly. If you have a hard time flossing around your braces, you may want to consider investing in a water pick or a sonicare air flosser. You can even put some fluoride rinse, such as ACT in the reservoir to give additional fluoride boost.

It is not uncommon for new appliances to cause discomfort in the early stages. Any dental prosthesis is just that... a prosthesis. And just like an artificial arm or joint, it takes time for you and your body to adjust. Be patient. It may take up to several weeks before you are completely comfortable and able to use your new dentures as effectively as possible. See your dentist for the regularly suggested appointments for adjustments as needed especially in the beginning and keep your appliance and mouth clean. Good Luck!

If strictly on the procedure and price alone, most likely the extraction would be less expensive than the root canal therapy. However, if you introduce the cost of replacing the missing tooth after the extraction, it is often more expensive to have the extraction in the long run versus restoring the tooth and retaining it. I would suggest that you discuss all the options with your dental provider to make sure that an extraction is the way you wish to go in treatment. That way you can make a completely informed decision for long term health.
