After root canal?!
Question:
After root canal?
I had a root canal and a filling. How long would it last? Do i necesarily need to place a crown? The dentist suggested me to first fill all the cavities first and after-determine. Before this, i need my teeth cleaned. Does that hurt? Friend's prior experience said it was painful! Please give me some head ups before my next appointment. I have recently been loaded with dental questions. Please dont mind me. Thank you for understanding! Im starting to feel much better.
Praise the Lord!
Answers:
Once after a cleaning mine was a lil sore, not much though, plus got a great cleaning. Never had pain with fillings nor during or after a root canal. Yes, you need the crown but it's ok to wait a little while. If you don't get the crown, eventually the tooth will start turning dark and will start to crumble, then you will lose the tooth, plus the money you paid for the root canal to save it. FYI, my root canal cost $500 but now the price went up to $750. Same with the crown. ($750 each) And that's in the poor south. Ridiculous isn't it? Seriously, if you invest in the root canal, please be aware you will still lose the tooth eventually if you don't get the crown too. Your dentist will advise you what's best. Any doubt, get a second opinion.
