The reason a dentist will do a root canal is because decay is too close to the nerve or too much of the tooth has been lost. If the teeth broke then the dentist probably did not have enough tooth left to hold a new bridge or a new crown or to hold a filling. The tooth may already have been "dead" and the dentist needed to take out the nerve and put in a POST in the space where the nerve was. Then he could attach something to the post...like a crown or a bridge. |
