i had a root canal 5 years ago. I didnt have insurance so i went to the first dentist that returned my call. i got the root canal and crown. 5 years later the crown fell off. my trusted primary dentist advised me to go back to the dentist who did the procedure and that there was decay so he would need to make a new crown. i went back and he glued it back on. and crooked so he needed to trim the crown. now a year later the only option is implant or bridge. because the decay has gotton so bad
