Hi Everyone,

I've been reading this group, and am grateful for everyone's
willingness to offer time and advice.

I had an emergency root canal on 11/17. I went from no pain to serious
pain in a couple days, and although there was no physical evidence from
the xrays, the doctor was pretty sure I needed the canal. I was very
sensitive to air, and breathing in hard caused lots of pain.

Unfortunately, i was away on business at the time, and had to find a
dentist who could see me immediately in the city I was visiting. The
canal seemed to go well, and they put in a "build up" inside the tooth
to hold me over until I can get a permanent crown. (Charged me $1000 -
is this nuts? I didn't have much of a choice). Since I was leaving town
shortly, this wasn't an option at the dentist who did the canal.

Here's my question- I made an appointment for 12/19 to be seen by a
local dentist for a crown. Is this too long to wait? I don't have any
pain, but have read that my tooth might fracture. Am I waiting too long
for the crown?

Also, what type of crown is strongest?

Thanks SO much for your help.

Best,
Josh

I like to remove the build-up and make one piece of solid porcelain to
extend 10-12 mm into the tooth. This is a better mimic of tooth structure
than gold is.

For a molar RCT and build-up, it is cheap. Sorry, but inflation hits
dentistry as well as the Farmers near here in Richmond, Virginia.
