I see it sinful for two reasons:
1) It is a permanent change to the body. So it is sinful for the same reason as tatoo is sinful
2) There is actually a notion of alive tooth and dead tooth. Those procedures actually start out with alive tooth and end up with dead tooth. So they violate the commandment "don't kill".
But what is your opinion on this?
The reason I am asking this is because a dentist wants to extract a wisdom tooth and possibly do root canal on the tooth next to it. And I have reservations doing this due to the above.
