I had a root canal completed on a tooth that died while I was active duty. That same tooth has caused problems since I got out. The VA dentist had to redrill it and clean it out because it was turning black after the root canal that was completed in the service. Then my regular doctor had to put a crown on it because the tooth became brittle and broke. Then I had to have oral surgery to clean out an infection that developed after the crown placement. Now I am having problems with the bone and they are recommending a implant or denture. Can I get service connected for this problem?
