I had tooth #4 removed 2 weeks ago. It was attached to tooth #3 with a long crown so had to be sectioned off. It went fine but now the lingual side of the crown on #3 is all rough from him cutting it which I expected.. That tooth has a very old silver point root canal so cannot be redone (dentist told me leave it be since it has not caused problems and success rate of re-doing is poor) and has given me no problem. I see the periodontist who did it tomorrow for my 2 week checkup the tooth and I think his receptionist said I would have to go back to my primary dentist to smooth it because he has the right instruments. Can they smooth that gold area without causing a problem? I am afraid the instruments will get to the tooth itself which is probably not in great shape, may be brittle. Is it easy to smooth out? It is so uncomfortable when my tongue touches it and I am so nervous.
