Topic	I actually need a root canal.
Questionmarktarius 10/26/17 10:31:51 AM #18:	markconigliaro posted... Scotty_Rogers posted... Do you have to get a crown? Doesn't that just cover the dead tooth? My dead tooth doesn't look that bad yet. From what I understand, it depends on the tooth. My root canal was on a molar, which is important for chewing food. The process of a root canal weakens the tooth, so the crown is there so the tooth doesn't fracture (and so it looks like a regular tooth). The teeth up front aren't really used for chewing, so you might be able to get away without a crown. Canines and incisors won't need a crown, unless the tooth is cracked. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:889178126] in I actually...
