Is it possible to have my crown removed to avoid damage when having a root canal?
Q.
I have been having ongoing problems with a lower rt 7 which has been crowned with a white and now a gold crown. 2 months later sudden pain and sensitivity between the 7 and 8. Dentist is talking about root treatment by drilling through the crown. Can’t they take the crown off and replace after treatment.?

The crown is made to stay in place and often the force to remove it is too great. However its worth a try. ( I use the unfortunately named “wam keys” to minimize damage to the crown)
