Root canal cap is loose
My root canal cap is loose since last few
months.. it doesn't pain until i try to eat anything hard from that side. The cap sometimes hurt my gums and it bleeds.. can it be fixed easily or do i have to get a new cap fixed now?
Probably RCT treated tooth with cap might be moving because a loosened cap will not stay for months. Pain, bleeding associated with RCT treated tooth are suggesting secondary infection below the tooth so consult your dentist, have thorough examination with X ray and get a solution.
