new dentist is suggesting replacing and extending a root canal what is the wisest decision

Monday, April 20th, 2009
Q.
Hello, My new dentist is suggesting replacing and extending a root canal that was done several years ago before she applies a crown to the dead tooth, as x-rays show it doesn’t go the full length of the root and is a little uneven. It’s never caused me problems in the 16+ years I’ve had it, but she says it might be a good idea to give the crown a better foundation, but the choice is mine – what’s the wisest decision to make?

I recently did a root canal the tip of the K-File used to remove the nerve during the procedure broke in my mouth

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
I recently did a root canal. After the procedure the Dentist informed me that the tip of the K-File used to remove the nerve during the procedure broke in my mouth. He noted that this is normal. This happens frequently to dentist. He noted that it will just become part of the filling and should not create any problem later. Is this correct? Pls. advise. Thank you

Q.
