I've a lower molar which was already filled many years ago. There is no pain or trouble at this moment, but as it does not look nice because of the fillings and to prevent further or future decay. Crowning is said to prevent or protect from future decay of the tooth. Is it good to place a crown on it, can I skip the root canal treatment since there is no pain or trouble on the tooth at this moment??? Will it give any trouble in future and for many years down the road, if there is no root canal treatment on the tooth???
Also, drinking cola and sugary beverages (like hot chocolate, milk & cereal, which usually have sugar content) are bad for teeth as these often causes the tooth decay. Will rinsing the mouth with tapwater (without brushing as no food intake) prevent the decay?? (I do at least 2 brushings and 1 flossing per day, however, I do need to take these beverages in between meals).
Will anyone please give good suggestion and advice. Thanking you in advance.
