    Crowns post & core?
    How often after a root canal, post & core and a new crown is placed does the crown & post break off? My dentist says the tooth broke off inside the crown and the post is still there what should I do now?

    It depends on how much tooth is remaining. If the tooth has broken in to the root, you are probably looking at having the tooth removed and an implant or bridge placed.
