question about ivory

[mickbr]

my ivory that is, sorry a bit dinengenous of me. I have to make a decision between a complicated root canal of a lower premolar( apparently I have multiple complicated roots my regular dentis wont touchans has referred me to a specialist) or just pull the tooth. At 50 Im not trying to win any beauty contests. Lower premolars dont really show in a smile either and people have said you dont chew a lot with those teeth.... However Ive never lost a tooth before and wondering if its always a good policy to try and preserve a tooth by any means and costs possible?

The endodontist says its a 66% chance the tooth survives. This is about as off topic a post as any on these forums.

i went thru the "save the tooth" scene many times to no use, my rotted teeth were deeply rooted and had to be removed by an oral surgeon, it was way past my pain threshold on locals, but I said "good night" to the same guy many times.
