Is its correct to place cap on cracked tooth?
Q. I have pain in one of my back teeth which had an existing filling. My dentist took xrays and advised of a crack. He has now cut away half of the tooth and is intending to place a Prcelin cap on it in two weeks time costing £650. There is still a large crack running down the back of the tooth that is now visible. It it correct to place cap on this now? Thanks
A. They are trying to b ond the tooth together and prevent the crack spreading. If this works your tooth should be fine for many years
