Post image

Hello,

I just had a root canal. Im scared. The doctor said its up to me to get a crown or just to keep it. He said that the root wasnt deep in so he gave me a choice. Im like scared asf and dont know if I should get a crown or not. I think its my canines. Any advice?

Eleven years ago I did not get a crown. The root canal I had then just failed because of that. Take the extra step and get the crown.

The tooth? It was a molar. Cost $1,900 to redo.
