If cost isn't an issue, should you get a crown if you know you'll need one later, but it's not absolutely necessary now? What are the advantages and disadvantages of waiting?

Loading...I noticed that my tongue looks strange underneath. I also have swollen lymph nodes in my lower jaw. Could this be related?
Is inflamed and hurts when touched
When can I eat again after a root canal (a tooth has been removed)? There's only a gap, so there's NO filling or temporary filling. 😳
A dentist saw the spot and said it was not necessary
This depends on why a crown is indexed and meaningful.
If the tooth is root-filled it can be useful not to wait with the overcrowd before the tooth breaks off at some point. It would then be possible that a crown is no longer possible and the tooth must be removed. And is a root-filled tooth in the visible area, it is more quickly overcrowded for aesthetic reasons (the tooth becomes discolored).
If the damage/fillings on the other teeth are already so large that durable fillings are no longer possible, the dentist overrides the existing rest of the tooth. This can happen/required by a partial crown or full crown.
Either you get a second opinion or you can explain the reason of your ZA.
About three years ago, my dentist said I need four crowns. Top left 2 and bottom left 2. As the word that “healthy” tooth substance is ground away from me, was extremely disgusting, we agreed on 2 crowns at the bottom left.
It wasn’t as unpleasant as I thought, but I couldn’t find real peace with it. I thought for a while that was all over…
A year after completion of the crowns, the root of an overcrowded tooth ignited shortly before a flight trip. The alternative was: drag root treatment or tooth and leave. The holiday was expensive and already paid. Teeth was pulled.
The resulting gap was closed by an implant.
At the top left, where two teeth were to be overcrowded, normal fillings were used and everything is okay.
I’m sorry I let myself in on the crowns… If I could turn the time backwards, I wouldn’t do that again.
But I also admit that I had an extreme reluctance against the crowns. Probably it would have been better if I had said happy YES.
Tooth gaps should always be closed because the tooth otherwise has no “counter pole” and therefore presses upwards over time. He has no resistance to him.
This will continue until tooth loss.
Unfortunately wrong because you write a bridge.
Oh, sorry! You’re right!
For a crown, part of the tooth must always be ground, but it does not last forever and at some point there is no tooth – here it must be weighed, in which variant the loss of substance of the tooth is higher.
Right away.
Because then more of the tooth remains.
Yes, because a crown is a good protection for the tooth. It will therefore probably keep much longer than without a crown.
