Decay around gum/tooth post RCT

2017-11-09 10:16:43
Hi, I had to re-fix my tooth crown which was operated for RCT. After the fixing, there was some gap between the adjoining tooth and 8 months later, it is diagnosed with decay around gum and the same tooth.

Recent X-ray of that region with crown will help to diagnose the problem. Suggestion would be filling in that gap or changing if the old crown which is causing food lodgement and decay. Visit a specialist get the problem resolved asap to prevent further complications .
