Why I need a Dental Crown after my Root Canal Treatment?
A dental crown, also known as a cap, is a type of dental restoration that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, or appearance.
A crown is typically placed after a root canal treatment because the procedure removes the nerve and blood supply from the tooth, making it more brittle and susceptible to fracture. A crown, also known as a cap, is a covering that is placed over the tooth to protect and strengthen it. The crown also helps to restore the tooth to its normal shape, size and function. Additionally, it can also help to prevent re-infection of the tooth.

A root canal treatment is a procedure that is used to remove the infected or damaged pulp (nerve and blood vessels) from inside a tooth. The pulp is removed through the top of the tooth, leaving the root canals empty. After the pulp is removed, the root canals are cleaned, shaped and sealed to prevent bacteria from entering them again.
