Also if they're dentists (suddenly teeth become "bones to smile with").
You're going to need a root canal, not because its the best procedure for the job, but because its more expensive.
I had a dentist give me an unnecessary root canal when a filling broke and they didn't even do it right. I'm still pretty salty about it. I'll always get a second opinion moving forward.
Do y'all not have separate endodontists that do root canals only? That's the norm here that dentists refer out for specialty work like oral surgery and root canals.
We do, but I didn't even know they existed before this incident. I've luckily had few dental issues.
Yes but you need the referral. The dentist I go to is a chain of sorts and endo travels so like you have to wait for when he's gonna be in your area. Most people can't or won't wait or can't pay and end up getting other shit done as a stop gap.
Sooo what are the consequences of not getting it done right? I had one done recently and I am worried.
Depends on how it "wasn't done right". If they didn't clean it out properly and there's still decay? Losing that tooth when it hurts again. Gap in the cement for the crown? New crown. And so on.
Red aggro nailed it. There's a gap at the gum line between my remaining tooth and the crown, leaving exposed dentin.
I did notice my dentist's office is decorated with various posters and such that say "smile" and none of them say "chew"
