It's not putting any pressure on my other teeth and there is room for it to come up if it's given time.

I'm no dentist but I think it can be filled as there's quite good access to it. Also, the dentist said it'd be a Local Anastethic job so surely it can be saved?

I don't want to have to get a second opinion just to be told it'll have to be pulled so how do I go about getting it out? I can't afford private and I don't have dental insurance so can I go publicly in a hospital?
