Hello. I am a patient. These are older xrays . Since taken, tooth 12 has been root canal treated and requires crown lengthening. However, the decay of tooth 13 has made half of tooth break off. (for ease of reference, tooth #14 has a post and a crown). I was told by the dentist that we can do root canal plus post and crown. When I went for tooth 12 crown lengthening consult, the periodontist stated that he can do both 13 and 12 as crown lengthening and no need for root canal. These doctors all work in different offices, but refer to each other and neither wishes to definitively state what is the better treatment. Generally I lean to more conservative treatment, but I am at a loss. Please help? If I need one more consult, should it be with a dentist or periodontist? Periodontist was stating 4-5 millimiters for #12 and 3 mill or so for #13. HELP!!!
