Hi all, i have a root canalled tooth that doesnt have a crown on it. I wasnt aware it needed one but when i went to my new dentist, he xrayed my teeth & said that he wanted to crown it. The tooth next to this one is broken & i am having that crowned in Feb, he said he might as well do the 2 together. I am finding this really really hard to deal with, to me its loosing 2 teeth. The one that is broken without a doubt needs fixing as i cannot eat on it & im scared the other half will go so its effecting my anxiety. The dentist referred to the root canalled molar as having a small filling in it ( only half the tooth is filled, so a good chunk isnt!) am i being silly to want to keep on to this tooth? i know a RC weakens the tooth but i have been using the tooth fine up until the one next to it broke, the dentist that did the RC never even mentioned a crown. Any advice would be great xx
