I need some professional advice.
I had a tooth prepped for a crown that was exposed for a few weeks - temp broke. I took care to chew on the other side and I brushed it daily like the rest of my teeth. When I saw my dentist again, she wiped my tooth with cotton, fit the gold crown, filled the crown with glue, dried my exposed tooth with her air tool, and stuck the permanent on. She did not apply any antibacterial on the exposed tooth between my walking in and her gluing on the permanent.
I had a prior tooth rot out underneath a crown where the dentist also skipped that antibacterial step.
Now I am concerned about what may be lurking under my new crown.
Any professional thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
