I had a molar that had a root canal treatment, with a crown on it, that broke right at the gumline. That tooth had a problem of getting food, esp meat, stuck between the top of the crown and feels like inside the gum, so i gathered a portion of the tooth was still exposed (bad crown job i knew from the getgo)...i never went back to that dental office bec 2 of the dentists there did a bad job of my root canals.
