Customer: I had some mild trauma to tooth #22 in early September, resulting in persistent soreness that made me see a dentist. She said the trauma likely further inflammed the area and that I needed a one-canal root canal. Can you tell if the root canal done on #22 was successful?

Teeth 22 & 27 have crowns and the rest are dentures. Currently the dentures rest on the crown of 22. The tooth 22 is decaying below the crown by the gum-line on the side of 23. The dentist proposed to grind the jaw bone around 22 and install a post on which the dentures from both sides would rest.
