My dentist has recommended extraction for the molar second from the right upper side end. I wouldnt like to go for a bridge to replace it.(the molar next to it towards the front is a RCT tooth).Can't afford an implant now. Is the ok to leave the space as it is?(the tooth on the lower jaw below this tooth, on biting, touches the RCT tooth too.) What are the consequences of not replacing the extracted tooth? Thanks K
