My dental crown fell months ago. I’ve had a root canal and now it’s kind of starting to hurt. Do I need extraction? (Photo)

Question

do i have to extract the tooth

Patricia Moezinia, DDS · Answer

Although clinical and radiographic studies would be necessary to answer this question, from what can be seen in the photo there is little tooth remnant, so it is likely that extraction would be necessary, since leaving these tooth remnants could not only produce an acute infection but also chronic bone loss, which would make it difficult to place dental implants after extraction. At Empower Your Smile, the periodontist Dr. Bagga will guide you to the best treatment plan.
