Root canal - multiple health issues

2018-03-08 10:52:28
I had my right central incisor broken into half in a minor sport injury around 10 years back. For this, a root was canal done, the broken tooth was trimmed and a cap was placed over it. Couple of years after this I started having digestion. wheezing, skin issues and food allergies. I had my cap replaced recently with a non metallic one but the root canal is still intact. Is there any scan/test apart from CBCT which can help figure out if the root canal/metal is a problem/infection/allergy.

You have already replaced the crown so if that was allergen it's no longer there. Your symptoms do not seem related to your root canal or crown.

Clinically dentist can judge with the help of percussion test. Otherwise IOPA (Dental x-ray) can confirm it.No need of CBCT.

Root canal infection will not cause digestive problems.You have already replaced your cap with a metal free one. So nothing more is required. It seems unrelated to your tooth
