Tooth decay and gum disease can make it difficult to eat, talk, and concentrate. But the damage they do can go beyond our mouths.
Oral health affects our overall health. Poor oral hygiene can raise the risk of several diseases elsewhere in our body, from diabetes to dementia.
Fortunately, preventive care can help.

Is a Dental Crown Necessary After Root Canal Treatment?
Dental crowns are the final step in root canal treatments, but still, many wonder if they are necessary.
A root canal may save a tooth from further infection, but it does not save the tooth from weakening. Coupled with tooth decay, a root canal procedure weakens the tooth by reducing the amount of healthy tissue within it.

To stop the tooth from disintegrating, a dental crown is recommended for restoring the tooth.
A dental crown is needed after a root canal for :

1. To strengthen a fragile tooth -
A previous injury, the removed tissue, or the trauma of drilling can all leave a tooth more fragile after a root canal. Placing a dental crown can provide the strength it needs to last and prevent any future damage.

2.To prevent infections -
An infected or injured tooth is automatically at higher risk for recontamination. A dental crown provides an extra layer of protection against infection so you can avoid an extraction.

3.When the tooth becomes discolored -
Tooth decay or a root canal may cause the tooth to become discolored. In such a case, a crown should be placed for cosmetic reasons.

4. When the tooth becomes sensitive -
Sometimes, only part of the pulp needs to be removed during a root canal. Whatever remains may be extremely sensitive to heat, cold, pressure, acid and sugar. Fitting a crown covers the tooth and protects it from the elements.

When is it OK to leave the tooth without a dental crown?
Because crowns are meant to protect the tooth from falling apart when subjected to the pressure of grinding, they are necessary for the restoration of the back teeth. The front teeth are not put under as much pressure as the molars. After a root canal, they can simply be restored with dental filling and left without a crown. However, if the front tooth has been discolored by decay, then a crown should be fitted for cosmetic purposes.
