Most crowns do not require root canals. The only time that a root canal is necessary is when the tooth is infected or significantly inflamed. With a root canal, a dentist removes the infected part of the tooth, most notably the soft center of the tooth known as the pulp. On the contrary, most root canals require crowns. The exception is root canals on the front teeth, as these can sometimes be restored with dental filling. However, root canals on molars will almost always require a crown.   Dental crowns are a great solution to various tooth problems, keeping your tooth strong and looking great.
