Asked By:Xieybabe001 in Coffeyville, Kansas

I’m Lola , I’m twenty six years old . I’m a teacher and also an entrepreneur. I just got an apicoectomy on my front tooth and I haven’t gotten a crown on the tooth . Is it advisable to get a crown immediately or should I wait until months later ? Also I could still feel some tenderness on my gum due to the apicoectomy done five weeks ago . Is that normal ?
