BEST DENTAL CLINIC IN CHENNAI IS IT NECESSARY TO PUT A CROWN AFTER A ROOT CANAL TREATMENT? Root canal therapy is a dental procedure where the dentist gains access to the center of a tooth to eliminate an infection. The infection that has reached the roots of a tooth is called pulpitis, or infection of the pulp (tissue) deep inside the tooth. After the procedure, patients have a tooth that is hollowed out and painless. Because the tooth no longer contains pulp inside it, a crown will add support to it so no further damage occurs. Dental crowns are the final step in any root canal treatments, but still, many wonder if they are necessary. Patients tend to be intimidated by the root canal procedure in itself, but when adding the factor of a dental crown, it may seem even more daunting. A tooth that has undergone a root canal treatment has already been weakened by issues that created a need for a root canal, so it needs to be protected from further damage. A crown encloses the restored tooth, improves appearance, protects from acids and bacteria in the mouth and protects from strong bite forces.
