    I had a front tooth root canal filled in 1987 and it lasted for 30 years before having to have a bridge. Original filling cost me £20 the bridge was £1500 (it's got a platinum hinge)!! (both done on NHS)

    FFS on NHS it's £48 whether you have it pulled or have it root treated. Surely it's worth that to save a tooth. I've had several of mine root treated no probs. worse that can happen is that it may turn darker as its a dead tooth.

    Missus is dental nurse and she's shocked at some of the 'rip it art' suggestions.
