I woke up yesterday with excruciating pain in my front teeth and headed straight to the dentist. After some X-Rays she told me that a deep filling I had in my front right tooth (done about 8 years ago) seemed to be too deep, hitting the tooth's nerve. She referred me to an endodontist. So I guess I have a couple questions here: Is it possible that since the filling is older, it simply has to be redone or do I definitely need a Root Canal?
What is the process like for having a Root Canal on a front tooth?
I remember getting a root canal on a molar years ago and they chiseled the tooth down to nothing and placed a big bulky temporary crown on it until I could get fitted for a permanent solution. I am going to be travelling for business in 2 weeks and am really worried about having a funny tooth right in front. Will this tooth need a crown?
All your answers are greatly appreciated. I know its hard to advise without seeing x-rays but I have to wait until tomorrow to call the endodontist and any answers from your experiences are helpful.
Thank you!
