Dental Insurance Plus – My Tooth Broke – Now What Do I Need to Do
I had a root canal done on one of my back molars. The root canal was done about two months ago. I was to return for the crown, so I only had a temp crown. That came off a month later. Since my appointment to return was next month, I have yet to do anything about it. When I ate something, part of the tooth with the root canal broke off. Now I have a hole in my tooth. My appointment is in three more days. The dentist was going to put the new crown on. What will he do now? Will I still get my crown?
Reply: Based on the information you provided, it’s likely that your dentist will still proceed with placing the new crown on your tooth. However, since part of the tooth has broken off, the dentist may need to assess the damage and make any necessary repairs before the crown can be placed. It’s essential to attend your scheduled appointment with the dentist and raise any concerns or questions you may have about the procedure. In the meantime, take good care of the affected area by practicing good oral hygiene and avoiding hard or sticky foods that could further damage the tooth.
