Well as of today the oral surgeon wants to have Marvin's regular dentist try a root canal to see if that works instead of having to cut out his tooth. So Marvin will be going back to see him and have the cap removed to see if there is a chance to do the root canal. They think that is a better route to try first. Basically they will do the root canal (if possible) and then cut the tooth off as close to the gum as possible without cutting into the gum.
