If I have a crown, will I need a root canal?

Share This Post

Not all teeth that need crowns will need root canals. If the nerve of the tooth is still healthy, then the top part of the tooth can be replaced with a crown. However, most teeth that have had a root canal will need a crown. Teeth with root canals can become weaker with time and a crown will reinforce the tooth, allowing it to function longer.
