Does anyone have any experience with, or know anything about root decay/root caries?
Long story short: Never got a crown on a root canaled tooth, and it broke.
The dentist said it is 100% hopeless as the cavities extend to the root. When searching online I've mainly found 2 things:
a. Root caries where the gums have receded and roots are exposed(I do not have this).
b. Decay in plants (seriously like the third page of Google is about root rot in plants LOL).
I'm getting a second opinion on 7/10, but wanted to post here in the meantime. I would honestly rather get sepsis, then go through an extraction/bridge/implant. (Don't judge me you don't know how severe my fear is).
