I think I'll be all right. This dentist is damn good. It's just that now I have to get a proper filling over top of it, and then possibly a crown. It never ends!
Don't get a crown on it right away. Let a regular filling sit there for a few months to make sure the tooth is going to be ok. Putting a crown on right away just irritates the tooth more and if the RCT fails, they have to work through the crown to fix it. Which, is a pain and in time could weaken the crown.
