I had a root canal with crown and post. The post has broken 2 times in one year.

Last night it happened again and I almost swallowed it. I am thinking of asking my dentist for a partial refund, cut my losses and find a new dentist. I am afraid if it happens again I might swallow it. Any advice or comments will be welcome. I hate to leave his practice, but thinking it might be necessary.

99% of the time the need for the root canal has nothing to do with a treating dentist.  Simply having a filling placed can push the nerve "over the edge" and need therapy.  The "cause" was the decay and not any treatment.

Hi:This could be normal if there is also clenching and grinding involved, otherwise the pain should be subsiding rapidly.  Another reason for continued pain might be a fracture in the tooth.Best,Dr. Maddahi
