I had a dentist give me an unnecessary root canal when a filling broke and they didn’t even do it right. I’m still pretty salty about it. I’ll always get a second opinion moving forward.
Do y’all not have separate endodontists that do root canals only? That’s the norm here that dentists refer out for specialty work like oral surgery and root canals.
Depends on how it “wasn’t done right”. If they didn’t clean it out properly and there’s still decay? Losing that tooth when it hurts again. Gap in the cement for the crown? New crown. And so on.

We do, but I didn’t even know they existed before this incident. I’ve luckily had few dental issues.
Sooo what are the consequences of not getting it done right? I had one done recently and I am worried.

Red aggro nailed it. There’s a gap at the gum line between my remaining tooth and the crown, leaving exposed dentin.
