Hello:Not to worry, in most cases the crown with the post can be recemented without any problem.Best,Dr. Maddahi
Without photos or xrays, there is not way for me to say what treatment needs to be done. If there is still tooth structure above the gums, it may be salvageable. If it broke at or below the gum line, the tooth probably needs to be removed and replaced with an implant or bridge.
Hi:My suggestion is to go back to your dentist to recheck the bite and do a nerve test to make sure nerve is ok. Sometimes X-ray does not show nerve damage right away.Best,Dr. Maddahi
It is unlikely that decay under the crown of a root canaled tooth would cause the symptom you described. You should have the root canal result evaluated by an Endodontist to determine if all is well with the root canal procedure. Crack tooth syndrome is also a possibility.
Hi:Depending on the amount of gum recession you have two choices:1. Crown2. Soft tissue grafting to cover the root of the tooth again.Best,Dr. Maddahi
