Q.
Hi Doctor,
I was assessed by my dentist and
I have to undergo root canal treatment on one of my lower tooth. My dentist has told me the procedure and that the crown is put on within a few weeks after treatment but I went to get a second opinion at a private dentist and he told me the permenant crown is put on 6 months to a year after the initial treatment so that they can check if procedure has gone well and no bacteria is infected the area. What would be usual way to do root canal?
Thank You

i’m 19 and just don’t know what to do, I feel the problems with them may be too big to sort. When I was younger I had to have root canal treatment on a front tooth, this left it very grey, I have since had a crown but they still don’t look right. Also, my bottom teeth became very rotten so i’ve had lots of work done on them, but they look awful as the white fillings I had are becoming discoloured. My teeth are far from straight, they all seem to be different colours. I just don’t understand it because i’ve always looked after them, but my dad had a lot of problems with his teeth & so has my mum. This is beginning to rule my life, I think about how hideous my teeth look 24/7. I saved up £400 to have this crown done which looks awful. I just don’t know where to turn, but at the age of 19 i’m not willing to live the rest of my life like this. So if you have an advice i’d be extremely grateful, i’m willing to save up any amount of money, no matter how long it takes. I also have pictures but not sure how to attach them on here. Thank you in advance.
