No time duration. It totally depends how much tooth structure was left before treatment. How strong your teeth is now after treatment. How much you avoid hard food stuff.

Completely depends on preoperative condition of your tooth.
If crown structure is excessively damaged then you required immediate crown.
if not then you can wait for some days.

there is no guarantee as there are always chances of re infection if u do not maintain and the worst thing can happen is your tooth might fracture anytime. u have to understand that a rct just cleans up your infection of tooth but it cannot give the strength of tooth back like original because it was damaged by caries or infection. so to get external barrier or strenght a cap or crown is always advised

While a root canal removes the infected pulp and nerve, leaving the tooth without a protective crown may make it susceptible to fractures or additional decay.

A dental crown is always a must after a root canal procedure. The longevity of dental crown depends upon the structural quality of tooth left after the root canal procedure. If the structural quality of tooth is not good, then then you should immediately get the dental crown on that particular tooth.

It is recommended to have a dental crown fixed on any root canal treated Tooth as soon as possible. If there is any pain or discomfort after the root canal treatment then we should wait for at least a week and after checking the tooth with xray, A dental crown should be fixed. If at all there is no pain in the tooth, then the dental crown should be fixed within a span of 3 to 5 days.

Depends on the prognosis of that tooth. It is most commonly advised to get crown post root canal but not in every case

it depends on the structure of tooth left after rct, so better get it done as earlier as possible so that maximum tooth structure can be saved. usually when 3 to 4 walls are intact, prognosis is better, and we can avoid crown. also in front teeth we can avoid crowns.
so the doctor will evalaute clinically and make the right decision

I was wondering if I could split a chewable tablet

Male | 31

Generally, if a medication is designed to be chewable, splitting it is usually not necessary and might affect its effectiveness. Chewable forms are formulated for proper absorption when taken whole. If you're experiencing difficulty with the dosage or have concerns, the best step is to discuss this with your physician. They can provide personalized advice and may offer alternatives that suit your needs better.

Nose ???? sy neechy dant teeth tk pain hy

Male | 30

The pain you are experiencing in your nose could be radiating down to your teeth. The same kind of pain might be caused by sinusitis and inflammation of the air-filled spaces in the skull. Symptoms can include pain, toothache, and nasal congestion. Warm face compress, drinking lots of water, and using saline nasal sprays to keep your nasal passages clear, can all be helpful in this time. If the pain continues, it's best to check in with a dentist for further evaluation.

My son accidentally swallows a bipilac tablet

Male | 13

If your little boy has swallowed a Bipilac tablet by mistake, don't panic. The most frequent symptoms of ingestion are upset stomach and perhaps some vomiting or diarrhea. The reason for this is that the stomach doesn’t like the pill. To make him feel better, make sure he drinks plenty of water and keep an eye on him constantly. It’s important to observe any strange behavior in your child and if there is any, call your local poison control centre at once.

I am 39 urs old. I have root canal tomorrow. I am asked to take 2 tablets one is betmax 509 and another is metrogyl er . I could see both are antibiotics. So I have a doubt that is it required to take 2 antibiotics?

Female | 39

It’s common if you’re confused about taking two antibiotics before a root canal. Betmax 509 and Metrogyl ER are antibiotics that fight against infection. To ensure all the infection is gone, your dentist might have prescribed them both. Take both of them as directed which will help you not to get any complications after the process. Follow what your dentist told you and in case of any questions ask him or her.

There is a lot of pain in the right side of the tongue. I feel a lot of pain when I put my finger on the painful area. B: D: I smoke cigarettes for a long time.

Male | 20

A sore on your tongue is common when smoking cigarettes. The smoke irritates the delicate mouth tissues, causing painful spots. Spicy, hot foods irritate further; try rinsing with warm saltwater. If pain persists beyond a few days, it's wise to consult a dentist for examination.

38 year old MALE, I am. Facing unhealthy tongue since last 6month. Purple patches on tongue, whitish layer also in morning. A slight overgrowth observed at right end edge. No medicine working, no relief from last 6 month.

Male | 38

Oral lichen planus might often show up as purple and white spots on the surface of the tongue that may or may not include a covering. It might not be infectious, however, it might be very annoying. Due to immune system dysfunction or stress can be a contributing circumstance. Eliminate spicy foods or abrasive brushing to relieve the suffering. Gargling with the help of salt can also be a relief. If you do not experience any alleviation, consult a dentist for a proper check-up and cure.
