I do not remember what was done to this tooth. Is that a problem?+
Not at all. Tell the dentist what you can. An examination and appropriate X-rays will show a good deal about its current state.
Do I need my old X-rays before asking about a crown?+
You can request an assessment without them. Ask the clinic whether any earlier images would help in your case, and how they could be obtained.
Why does past treatment affect the choice of a crown?+
The recommendation depends partly on how much healthy structure remains and why the tooth was weakened. Earlier fillings and internal treatment are part of that picture.
My tooth already has a crown from years ago. Can that be assessed too?+
Yes, you can ask to have it looked at. Describe what you have noticed, such as movement, trapped food or a change in sensitivity, when you make your request.
Would I still need X-rays if I bring recent ones?+
That is a question for the dentist, who decides which images are appropriate after looking at what you have and at the tooth.
How should a St. Andrews resident mention earlier treatment when asking for a visit?+
Note it briefly on the form, or say so when you phone (204) 338-3003. A line such as this tooth was treated at another office is plenty to start with.
