Usually, people ask why we need a crown after root canal treatment. As we removed the decayed part of tooth during the treatment, remaining tooth structure is not sufficient to bear the masticatory load and it might fracture. Moreover, root canal treated tooth don't have blood supply which makes tooth brittle hence prone to fracture. What is the use of root canal treatment when eventually you will end up breaking your tooth.
Crowns are mandatory after root canal treatment.

Root canal therapy (RCT) followed by a crown is the most common mode of treatment for severely decayed teeth. However, this is not devoid of failure. In another case, if a tooth could not be salvaged by RCT, then extraction followed by a bridge (replacing the removed tooth with support from adjacent healthy teeth) became the next best option.
In both cases, especially latter, healthy teeth are being manipulated to support the tooth being replaced. The next quest was to work without touc...more

While I understand your desire to avoid medication if possible, I strongly advise against skipping the medications your dentist prescribed for your pericoronitis and partially erupted wisdom tooth. Here's why:
importance of medication:
infection prevention: pericoronitis is an inflammation of the gum tissue surrounding a partially erupted tooth, making it prone to infection. Antibiotics like augmentin 625 help prevent and control bacterial infections.

Hi
in many people, wisdom teeth don't break through the gum and grow out – or only part of them does. The reasons are multifactorial. This is more common in the lower jaw than it is in the upper jaw. The reason is usually that there isn't enough space for the tooth in the jaw.
Wisdom teeth are usually only removed if they cause problems, or are likely to in the future. (pain, swelling etc.) wisdom teeth that don't break through (sometimes also called “impacted” wisdom teeth) often don't ...more

It's completely understandable to be worried about this situation. Leaving cotton in for 5 days after a tooth extraction can increase the risk of complications, so it's important to address it right away.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Contact your dentist as soon as possible: this is the most important step. Don't try to remove the cotton yourself, as this could further irritate the extraction site. Your dentist will be able to remove it safely and assess the condition of the wound.
