Whether a crown is needed after a root canal can depend on several factors, including the condition of the tooth and its location in your mouth. Generally, a crown may be recommended to protect the tooth from future fractures or cracks and to restore its full function. However, it's essential to consult with your dentist or endodontist for personalized advice, as they can assess the specific needs of your tooth following a root canal.
