Broken tooth with a root canal
Had a root canal then the tooth broke
I had a root canal done on one of my back molars. The root canal was done about two months ago. I was to go back in for the crown so I only had a temp crown on. That came off a month latter. Since my appointment to go back was next month I did nothing about it.
Now when I was eating something part of tooth with the root canal broke off. Now I have a hole in my tooth. My appoint is in three more days. The dentist was going to put the new crown on. What will he do now? Will I still get my crown?

The temporary crown was put on to protect what was left of your tooth. I know you can not go back in time but when it came off you should have went to see the dentist ASAP and not waited. However at this point it depends on how much of the tooth you broke off.
I would advise seeing you dentist sooner then latter as you do not want to continue doing damage to your tooth.
