RCT done tooth has broken to half

2018-06-01 15:36:15
Hi An year ago I had RCT done for my tooth. Today I saw that tooth has broken to half. Currently I am not in a state to go to doctor atleast for Next 5 months. Does this creates any problems to the tooth that are next to the RCT done tooth. Please advise me what can be done?? What kind of concquences will be there if I don't meet doctor for next 5 to 6 months? Note: I am not having any pain at this point. Thanks Jay

May be as u did not get the crown done after the RCT tooth got fractured. it is difficult to get the crown done. There are chances of reinfection.
Next Steps
Consult to dentist as soon as possible.

If the tooth is broken into more then half then getting a crown fitted would be difficult.Since there is no crown,and the tooth is exposed to oral cavity,there are chances of a reinfection.
Next Steps
visit nearest dentist and get an x-ray done to see if there is any reinfection
