1) Can somebody tell me what happens (preferably from personal experience) if you fail to get the necessary root canal therapy done on a tooth (molar) that has formed an abscess? There's no pain associated with it. Would I be compromising my bite by getting the root canal here? In what way would my health be compromised if I don't get it done?
2) I have a molar on the opposite side that has completely disintegrated and the remaining bone is rotten down to the gum (the result of soothing pain with whiskey). No pain (just foul breath). How could this tooth have been saved? Should I get the remaining parts removed? What are the potential issues (bite/pain/teeth shifting)?
