I have 8 molars, I'm 46 yrs old. I've just capped one molar. I'm considering getting 7 more caps for my molars. To avoid further complications with root canal etc.

Hello Cap is advised in certain situations like root canal treated tooth, fractured tooth, heavily restored tooth, sensitive tooth,attrited or eroded tooth etc.you can avoid root canal in rest of your teeth by having regular check-up and get restorations done if reqd. and by maintaining your oral hygiene.clinical evaluation is required to decide whether capping your molars is advisable and useful for you or not.you can visit our clinic in Kharadi, Pune for the same.
