Do i need a root canal?!


Question:

Do i need a root canal?

ok so i have a big black hole on my back tooth ad about 2 weeks ago half of it broke of. and if i do how long will it take and i feel no pain.


Answers:

If the tooth isn't too badly cracked and you want to do everything you can to keep it, most likely you will need a root canal, then a post and crown to cover up the tooth.

If the tooth is too badly cracked to save, you will have to get it pulled out, and replace it in the future with something else (bridge, implant, partial denture) if applicable.

The only way to tell which way to go? Have a dentist evaluate the tooth for you.

As is the case with dental procedures these days, there are no guarantees you will not feel pain, but most people usually come away feeling minimal discomfort.

Good luck.
