Best Time to Crown a Tooth After Root Canal

The best time to crown a tooth after a root canal is immediately.  The fact of the matter is that I typically wait until symptoms calm down.  Sometimes the root canal procedure can cause the tooth to be achy.  As soon as the tooth settles down I like to get a crown on the tooth because the temporary filling that the dentist places after root canal treatment has a good chance of leaking sooner than later.  If you have more questions about crowns, root canals, dental insurance or dental concerns, visit our website below or call us.
