Endodontic Treatment Without a Crown? Warning: Tooth Collapse Alert! ⚠️

After root canal treatment, although the tooth no longer hurts, it has actually lost its nutritional supply and becomes fragile and prone to cracking.

Without a crown for protection, the tooth is highly likely to split when biting hard objects, and extraction may be the only option!

Risks of not wearing a crown ↓↓

❌ Tooth splitting, possibly beyond retention

❌ Secondary infection, leading to more complex treatment

❌ Severe wear from long-term use

Why must a crown be worn?

1️⃣ Tooth brittleness: The tooth loses vitality after root canal treatment, making it prone to fracture.

2️⃣ Infection prevention: The crown seals the tooth structure, reducing re-invasion of bacteria.

3️⃣ Function restoration: Protects normal chewing and avoids tooth collapse.

It is recommended to wear a crown as soon as possible after root canal treatment. Don’t leave hidden dangers for the sake of convenience or cost-saving! Your teeth deserve better protection~
