Depending upon the extent of your tooth infection, it may vary. But, definitely within tolerance level well enough..
If your area of stay is declared green zone, it's better to undergo RCT 15 days later from now, considering you have not got exposed to any covid exposure by the time.
but, final decision will be made only by the dentist who is gonna treat it.
Next Steps
crown placement following RCTis mandatory.
