A member asked:
If i need to get a root canal on my upper central incisor, will this effect the fit of my night guard? does it alter the shape/size of tooth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Root canal Therapy: The treatment will not alter the shape or size of the tooth. However, if this tooth requires a crown following the root canal therapy, your night guard may need to be adjusted and refitted to the new crown. Discuss with your treating dentist.
