I had RCT on my molar tooth now half section of the filling came off what would be the options
Q. Hi, 2 months ago i had a root canal treatment. The tooth, molar (front) was also in decay. A large filling in the centre of the tooth was put in place after the RCT. Yesterday, whilst eating, a half section of the filling came off and one side of the tooth(outside) where the RCT was done felt wobbly. Today it is more wobbly. The Inner side also feels wobbly. The RCT treatment cost nearly £300. I guess the next option is either take it out completly or fit a crown. More expense I cannot afford. what would you recommend
A. If the tooth has fractured a long way under the gum, then extraction would be the best option, it maybe that the tooth has broken level with the gum or just under, in which case it could be refilled or crowned. Ask you dentist for his advice.
