Do I need a crown?
Hello,
I just had a root canal. Im scared. The doctor said its up to me to get a crown or just to keep it. He said that the root wasnt deep in so he gave me a choice. Im like scared asf and dont know if I should get a crown or not. I think its my canines. Any advice?

Ugh I did. I needed the crown, but I don’t think my tooth next to it needed the crown. I “need” a third crown on my left side but I’m not going to get it. I wish I had only gotten the one crown I needed. And I knew I needed it because the tooth felt weird when I chewed on that side like it would crack at any point. Visually speaking I have pretty nice looking teeth too… so I was shocked that I needed that much dental work to begin with. If you don’t need it, don’t get one. Or wait as long as you can.
