My dentist has chose not to crown my root canal filling on my upper molar what do you think
Q. I had a root canal filling on my first right upper molar two years ago, which my dentist chose not to crown.It recently split, and a portion on the front of the tooth was cut away above the root which left around 75% of the tooth in tact. This was built back up with appropriate “build up” materials. However my dentist still declined to consider a crown. I was originally with denplan but my dentist chose to switch to an internal private insurance scheme. I am over 60 years of age which may have a bearing on his decision.Do you think the tooth should be crowned ?
A. Hi
It is very difficult to say if the tooth should be crowned without looking at the tooth. If you are unsure, then you always have the option of seeking a second opinion.
