Is it properly sealed?
I have attached my lower tooth pic, Last week, i visited my locality dentist for an infection. My tooth was opened, and cotton was filled for one week. Later, the sealing was done. But when I see my tooth, I feel like it's still needs to be sealed properly. Could anyone help me know whether this filling is ok or shud I go for another treatment?

You should go for teeth cleaning and IOPA will done wrt 31 if RCT is not done then first of all go for RCT after completion of RCT then go for the crown.
Do brush at night before sleep. Must go through brushing technique. Your oral hygiene is very poor at this stage

Hi,
The filing looks fine in the picture you have shared. You need to get a crown placed over the tooth if it has been Root Canal treated. Also you require a full mouth professional dental cleaning procedure.

Hello.
Yes! It's appropriate.
As crown should be fixed, your dentist will take care of it.
If you feel discomfort while closing your mouth or chewing , get adjustments done.
Get cleaning done,as there are yellow deposits , it ll make your tooth, gums, and bone weak if you ignore it.
Health Tips
Advised to switch brushing technique, and brush twice daily
Advised to maintain good oral hygiene
