Should I get root canal treatment re-done?
Patient: Hi, I had Root Canal Treatment done a year ago. Did not have the last step done of capping the tooth , due to which the temporary filling from my tooth has come out. And now anything which i eat gets inside the cavity of the RCT tooth.. Do I have to get an RCT done again, or just the capping would suffice? Please help Thanks in advance Doctor: Hello Arzoo,         Well it depends on how many days previously your filling has come out.. If its recent then may be you can go for a new filling and a Cap over that tooth..           If there hasnt been any discomfort on the tooth, a Xray can be taken and it can be decided if any infection is there or not. If not just go for a permanent filling and definitely a cap over the tooth.      Thanks and regards Dr. Pankaj Malhotra
