Subject: ROOT CANAL vs. EXTRACTION
MY 6 YEAR OLD BOY BROKE HIS TOP LEFT FANG AND HE NEEDS IT
EXTRACTED OR TO HAVE ROOT CANAL DONE. THE PULP IS EXPOSED. HE'S
NOT IN ANY PAIN BUT THE VET SAYS ULTIMATELY THIS WILL BECOME A
PROBLEM. WHAT KIND OF COMPLICATIONS CAN EITHER OF THESE OPERATIONS
CAUSE? CAN AN EXTRACTION CAUSE EYE / EYE SOCKET PROBLEMS?
BLINDNESS? I'VE HEARD SEVERAL "STORIES".
MY BOY PRIDES HIMSELF ON HOW TOUGH HE IS (BITING POWER). I'M ALSO
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HIS "PRIDE". WILL THIS MAKE HIM BECOME A BIG
SOFTY?
