My crown was infected and I strongly think I need a root canal, what should I do?
Q.
For about 6 months I have had a crown that is loose, it caused a lot of pain when it became infected and I was given metrodindazole (or something like that!). The pain has now vanished for some 5 weeks but my dentist says she will not do a “root canal” because it “could” return. Surely lots of things “could” occur but lots of times they “don’t” occur. I feel strongly that an attempt should be made to save my tooth and she will not give any reason for her refusal except the one I have just given you. Please, advise.

Ask your dentist if they would refer you to a specialist root canal specialist( endodontist) for a second opinion and possibly treatment
