What Should Be Done After Dental Filling Is Lost?
I am a Male aged 24 and I have undergone root canal treatment for four teeth before a year. The fillings are almost gone. I have a problem in chewing, whenever I try and chew something, that gets stuck underneath the affected tooth. What should I do next?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually after a root canal treatment, a crown is placed over the tooth to cover the root canal filling.
So you should visit your dentist and get a crown fitted over the tooth in which filling is gone.
Hope it will help you.
