Asked By:eliza2264 in Pasadena, CA

One of my teeth (had a filling from cavity before) is in need of a root canal/implant. The problem is a previous root canal several months ago has left me with some trismus. At this stage/age is it better to go with a root canal or simply go straight to an implant?
