I had the wisdom tooth that was behind it removed last year with no pain at all but since then have been getting a bad taste and smell from the area. I thought it was just the healing process (HUGE hole!) but dentist has said the remaining tooth in decayed. He has said he can try a root canal but can't guarantee it will work, or I can have it out. I have made the RCT appt for Thursday but I'm wobbling.
The tooth is more filling than tooth already tbh and it is right at the back so can't be seen but it does had an opposing tooth so is used to eat. It doesn't hurt at all.
I've had root canals before with no bother but dh helpfully told me he had one on the same tooth and it was awful (helpful!)
Not worried about the price and am more than happy with my dentist so no concerns there. I just don't know if it is worth it.

Would you have a root canal for your very back upper molar?
