My Front Tooth Cracked After Root Canal Treatment. I’m Always Scared Of Going To The Dentist. What Do You Think I Should Do?
Q.
Hello Mark. My front tooth has cracked and a piece has fallen out, but this tooth has also had root treatment done to it and since then has started to rot at the back and two bits of tooth have fell off. What would be best for me to do? I always have to get sedation when I go to the dentist and I’m very scared of going. I don’t know what would be best or what I can get as the tooth is rotten. What do you think I should get done and when should I get it done? Due to work I can’t get time off for about 2 weeks.

Hello and thank you for writing in. Usually teeth that have had root canals require a crown/veneer or onlay restoration to protect them from fracturing over the long term. I would advise you seek out advice about having something like this carried out – it’s important that the root canal is checked to make sure it is still sealed and there is no infection on it. Try to find a dentist that you feel comfortable with. Regards, Mark.
