Money is tight. tooth extracted but i need to save up for a bridge. how much time do i have to save before a birth isn't an option.

The earlier the bett: The replacement of an extracted tooth should be done as early as possible either by a bridge or an implant depending on the situation of the dentition and the bone. Teeth do tend to tip. And the space might not be sufficient to restore. Try to talk to your dentist and work out a payment plan.

Ask extractionist: I've heard 6-8 months can be fine and even some say up to a year, but the dentist that did your work knows your oral condition. Ask them and also about an inexpensive filler to extend your time. There is none in Pomona, but perhaps a nearby town: http://www.freedentalcare.us/st/california Best!
