A member asked:
I had a root canal 14 years ago. now the filling keeps falling out. i never had a crown. the filling fell out again last night. pain. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endodontics: The reasons for a crown are to seal the top end of the root canal and to limit chance of fracture. See a Specialist Endodontist to see if tooth can be saved.
