Hi, I had dental cavity in one of my tooth a few years back. I got an Rct done and a crown fixed. The crown fell off in 2016. I could not go to the dentist then due to financial issues. Now I am having pain and swelling in that tooth. Do I need to get another RCT done or do I need to remove the tooth altogether?

Hi. Visit a dentist, get an X-ray done for the tooth. Re - RCT is possible depending upon the tooth condition. The dentist will tell you accordingly whether to go for Re-RCT or extraction/ removal of the tooth.

It can only be said after proper check up. You can consult me at lybrate for homoeopathic treatment for pain and infection.
