What additional dental work is needed for a tooth, which has had root canal treatment?
After your tooth’s root canal treatment has been completed your dentist will need to discuss with you what additional dental work will be required so to make the tooth fully functional again. In many cases a tooth which has required root canal treatment is one which has a large filling, or else has large portions missing due to extensive decay or breakage. These teeth, in this state, are not as sturdy as they once were and it is not uncommon that a dentist will recommend to a patient that a tooth which has had root canal treatment should be restored using a dental post and crown.
