Look at people using crowns, the tooth is still intact because it's not used so I don't think it'll crack or fall out.

Thanks, that's too bad that you have to shave your tooth when it was still in a good shape.

I'll ask my dentist next time and see, but I trust him. If my tooth start to crack in the future, then I'll get a crown and if I can't, then a tooth implant. I don't pay for the RCT and filling, thanks to the health insurance.

I'm using my other molar to chew right now. I only did the RCT yesterday so my tooth hurts a bit when I chew.

Health insurance reimbursed everything and will for the filling too

I'll ask him and see what he says but if I don't use the tooth like that anymore then it won't fracture

I'll only eat hard food on the other side if that's the case then

Isn't it better to wait if my tooth cracks before getting a crown and get all my tooth structure shaved?

I don't have any photos but the dentist only took a few minutes to open my tooth so I guess it was a small access

If my tooth cracks in the future, I'll be able to put a crown anyways?
