But look what was found under this filling. The tooth had this very deep, significant crack. It runs down toward the top of the nerve in the tooth. In all likelihood Katherine will end up with a root canal on this tooth. Some day it will start to hurt and become VERY sensitive to hot and cold. I placed an extensive tooth-colored filling and the tooth has been fine for the last few months. We will soon place a crown to help bind together and support the remaining tooth structure, and hopefully prevent the tooth from cracking further.
