Hi guys!
I need a root canal to my upper left first molar next week. Called up two endodontist, 1st endodontist say it will be done in two visits. 2nd endodontist say it can be done in one or two visits so it's up to me but I won't be able to chew ANYTHING on the temp filling while waiting a week for 2nd stage.
This is my concern as I have a missing molar on the other side of my mouth, so I would like to know is it true if we can't chew even like soft food even with temp filling (soft rice, steam mashed vegetables, mashed potatoes or egg)?
And, is it better to get the RCT done in one or two visits?
And, can I chew on that tooth with permanent filling but without crowning yet? As I heard it's better to wait a few weeks for the RCT tooth to settle down before going for crowning.
Please kindly advise thank you guys!
