Hi..

Basically My Dentist Has Said I Can Have A Deep Filling Done Which Will Be Tomorrow & There’s A Chance The Tooth Might Or Might Not Settle.. ? Or For In The Future.. I Can Possibly Have A Crown.. Wouldn’t I Just Be Better Getting A Crown Now So The Tooth Doesnt Crack Under The Filling As Its A Large Filling..?

Thank You xx
 
Hi, not sure if your question is answerable by anyone other than a dentist who has actually seen the tooth and the x-rays.

I find the most useful question to ask your dentist when you're unsure about making a decision about your treatment is this: "What would you do if it was your own tooth?" ?
 
Okies.. Thanks For Your Reply.. I Will Ask Her Tomorrow When I See Her.. ?
 
Best of luck for tomorrow ? - let us know how you got on!
 
Love to know how you go on this also
 
She Would Only Do A Filling.. I Asked About A Crown & She Said If She Did A Crown Then I Would Need An Extraction In The End Anyway.. Not Too Sure If Thats Correct Because I Thought That A Crown Was To Protect The Tooth & Prevent An Extraction.. xx

Oh gosh that is scary as im getting a crown in 2 months to prevent losing the tooth ??
 
Sorry I Didn’t Mean To Scare You.. That’s Just What She Said.. Maybe Other Dentists On Here Can Help..? They Are Normally Very Good With Advice.. ? xx
 
I can move this into the "Ask a Dentist" section to get a more accurate and reliable answer if you like?
