Bad case of a rooth canal

Bad case of a rooth canal

I had a root ccanal done about a year ago, never got crowned and now the tooth is on the bridge of either, being pulled out or another root canal...My questions is: how long is a root canal tooth supposed to be exposed without a crown? I feel the dentist that performed the root canal was negligent, because the should have completed the treatment and not leave my tooth exposed to further problems like I'm facing now. =( Thank you!

I thought they were always supposed to crown a root canaled tooth. Did you ask him why he didn't crown it? Crowns are expensive - did your insurance not cover it?

they should put a temporary crown on it for a few weeks (I think), then you go back for the permanent one.  Did you miss an appointment?
