hii, i got my root canal done in march and its STILL not crowned! my dentist hasn't told me ANYTHING about even getting it done? is he trying to wait for my tooth to break so i pay him more or something lol :P acutally i asked him about it when i went for my followup about a month later and he just said, "eventually". my next appointement isn't even until february 2008 for a regular checkup :S why hasnt he told me anything??? he put a filling in it so it looks like a regular tooth... when do i need one? my parents own their own business and so we don't have dental insurance so its going to cost them SO much money :( and i also need 4 of my wisdom teeth out and that will be like 1000$ he said too! whats the worst that can happen if i leave my tooth uncrowned for like 5 months so i can earn some money myself. alsoooo for my wisdom teeth.. my bottom front teeth are kinda butterflied together, they point inwards. will my wisdom teeth like push them in more???

I'd get it crowned as soon as possible. I made this mistake. The dentist didn't tell me to come back and get it crowned so i left it. About 5 or six months after i had the root canal done, the tooth started breaking away in little pieces. What happens is that the nerves are removed during the root canal hence why you have no feeling in that tooth. It becomes what they call a "dead tooth." No nutrients are going to the tooth to keep it healthy thats why they have to crown it. Anyways what happened was my tooth cracked to the point of not being able to repair it. I had to get it pulled in the end, so make sure you get it crowned as soon as you can! Good luck.
