Q. Hi Dr. Caplan, I had a root canal done a few months back, and within 3 weeks of getting it done, it broke, and I had to get my tooth pulled. Is this normal? Is my dentist imcompetent or does this happen often? I was really upset about it, and now I’m missing a tooth on my top right side, it’s hard to eat without it on that side. Then he did 4 more root canals without telling me to get a crown right away, and another one broke, and I had to get the tooth pulled. 2 others broke but luckily my teeth are still there, but not for long if I don’t get my caps done. What do you suggest I do? Do I switch dentists? Do I sue? Should he be capping them right away? Please let me know what to do, I’m sure I’ve spent over $20,000 over the past 2 years and I don’t know why I’m having so many issues with my teeth, that I’ve NEVER had in my life. And, I absolutely do not want to lose any more teeth, it’s embarassing, and painful. Thanks
