RCT done tooth has broken to half
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

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
Health Tips
avoid eating hard food from root canal treated tooth
