I went to a dentist because I had a minor crack in my tooth for a filling. I told the dentist I just wanted a filling and did not want a crown. H e sent me to a nother dentist for a root canal and I told him I just wanted a filling the crack did not even show on an xray. He said i needed a root canal, and did one. After the procedure  he put a temp filling in the tooth and said i had to go back to the first dentist to have a perment repair don and then told the other dentist that he recomended a crown. Now they both say that after the root canal i have to have a crown installed . neither dentist ever informed me that a crown was needed after a root canal . Can you tell me what options I have open to me aty this point?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Root canal treated is considered as a tooth without life, the tooth has a chance of being more brittle after that. The most appropriate treatment to follow up is put a crown to avoid the breaking of any tooth structure while you apply the biting forces on it. I would suggest you to get the crown done. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
