Question regarding Root Canal/Crown

2017-11-20 22:25:37
Recently got a root canal completed last week on my molar tooth. Today I was informed by my doctor that I need a crown. It's expensive and won't be able to get it until next month. Will I put myself teeth at risk if I wait?

Yes it would be a risk .But you can wait if you can't manage to get it done now.avoid biting anything hard from that side of tooth.heavy forces on that tooth could lead to a fracture.and get it done as soon as possible because RCT alone would not be of much help without a crown.

You can wait but you have to take care of your tooth from fracture. Eat soft from that side till you get it crowned.

You can wait for a month no problem. Make sure the doctor has done a permanent filling and do not eat very hard things till your crown is done. Normal food is fine
