Asked By:Chinz1201 in Woodinville, WA

My lower first molar was perfectly fine but the gum below had swollen and got infected. The dentist said the only way is to remove the molar.feel I was rushed into it. Tooth gone,Infection has subsided and got my impacted wisdom tooth out. Just after a month, he says he can start with the implant. I don’t have any trust on this doctor. Can you please suggest correct treatment and timeline.. What are the advantage/ disadvantage of having a bridge at lower first molar. Looking for guidance. TIA.
