I\nhave only been to a dentist twice since that time and the last time was early\nlast year. The cap fell off almost 2 months ago and there is a rod in my tooth\nthat wiggles back and forth. Can I pull the post out? It\u2019s uncomfortable when I\nchew, and I\u2019m afraid it might come out when I\u2019m eating. I don\u2019t want to swallow\nit. Thanks. Clinton from Georgia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clinton,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to your lost dental crown, the root canal filling material is falling out. If your dental crown came off two months ago, you\u2019re at risk for infection and needing another root canal treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens When Root Canal Filling Material Is Unprotected?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you had root canal treatment on a tooth, problems with\nthe tooth will increase if it isn\u2019t sealed off and protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The material is exposed to oral fluids and\nsaliva can loosen the filling<\/li><li>Your tooth can be infected again<\/li><li>You\u2019ll need another root canal treatment<\/li><li>Your dentist will protect the tooth with a\ndental crown.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The metal crown in your tooth is likely a post that was used\nto fill your tooth. Although the post can last for years, if your crown if off,\nit won\u2019t last. You shouldn\u2019t remove it yourself. A dentist will examine your\ntooth to determine if root canal treatment needs to be repeated or if the tooth\ncan simply be sealed and protected with a crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do You Have Dental Anxiety?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many patients who delay dental care have anxiety about dental visits. If you suffer from anxiety, Clinton, don\u2019t let it prevent you from getting the care you need. Tell your dentist about your nervousness. Any dental procedure can be performed with <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">sedation to help you relax<\/a> and have a productive appointment. Depending on your level of anxiety, you can receive nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation in pill form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Miranda Lacy, DDS, a Plano, TX female dentist<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2016, I had a root canal on an upper right molar tooth.
