A root canal is not always needed with a crown. On the other hand, If a root canal is needed, a crown is indicated to help protect and reinforce the remaining tooth structure.
No, you do not need to get a root canal if your tooth only requires a crown.
no you don't have to have a root canal just for a crown. You may have a crown put on to protect the tooth from having a root canal.
Yes, usually after a root canal, the tooth will need a crown if it doesn't already have one.
