Hi Don,

You should check it out carefully before acting, but I think you'll find
that there are no other options. I can tell you from personal experience
that it isn't too bad having teeth pulled out anymore. I had 5 wisdom
teeth pulled out in one go and he was done before I knew it. The after
shock, though, was still pretty bad. If the teeth are on display, you can
get bridges. The problem doesn't exist for capped teeth since they still
have nerve supply, it only happens for root canal teeth. My wife feel the
same way; she'd prefer to has her toncils out rather than have a tooth pulled!

Cheers,

Brad
