A member asked:
Can you tell me if there are any treatments for a dental fistula instead of a root canal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extraction: Well, yes and the other treatment is extraction of the tooth and that will get rid of the fistula. If you have the tooth extracted, you would need either an implant/crown or a fixed bridge to replace the missing tooth.
