How can you tell if a tooth has gone bad under a crown that has a root canal?

If a tooth has a root canal filling you will not be able to know because the main factors of a tooth that has gone bad is sensitive to hot and cold or tender when putting any pressure on the tooth but if it has a root canal it is slightly different because the nerve is removed so you cant feel it. The tooth if it has a root canal will always go dark as the tooth is dead but this does not mean it is bad. The main sign of a bad tooth that has had root canal is an abscess under the tooth so if you feel pain when lying down that is keeping you awake at night or when leaning forward it really hurts then you have an abscess and that tooth will most probably have to be re-root canalled by a specialist or extracted! :)

What is the result of poor filling of rootcanal treatment?
Poor filling on a root canal can allow food,sugars,bacteria,...ect, to decay the tooth.Although the root is gone you still have to protect the tooth structure, even though its under a crown. Or should be under a crown.
What are consequences of getting your root canal therapy?
If your tooth needs a root canal and is not painful, then it must be a dead tooth. When a tooth is dead, it is a source of infection which is not good. It is possible that it could hurt in the future due to infection. Better to have the root canal done, because you're trying to save your tooth. If you don't have the root canal treatment done and your tooth continues to decay, the dentist might have to pull that tooth out in the future. Once you pull out your tooth, that's gone forever
You are looking for a good dentist near progresso or across the border near mcallen tx?
I went to Dr. Xavier Aguirre in Nuevo Progresso and was very happy with the results. It cost for a root canal, didn't need a crown. My dentist in Dallas wanted to do the root canal and a crown for . The Dr. explained everything in detail. I felt I received much better treatment with Dr. Aguirre than any U.S. dentist I've gone to. www.draguirre.com But watch out, because most of the times when you do a root canal you would need a crown to preserve the tooth and make it solid. If you cannot afford the crown, that is understandable, but if you could, it is very recommended that you put one on your tooth.

What is the difference between getting your tooth pulled and getting a root canal?
A root canal would almost never be done on a Wisdom Tooth. But it is when they open the top of the tooth and remove all of the nerves in the roots. They leave the roots and fill them with a special material. Then they put a filling in the tooth. The tooth will also need a crown put on it to keep it healthy. Having your Wisdom Teeth removed is when they take out the very last molars in your mouth. They are called Wisdom Teeth. Very few people have room for these teeth to fit properly in their mouth. Each person has one on the top right, top left, bottom right and bottom left; four wisdom teeth. A root canal is done to save a tooth and keep it in mouth. The removal of a tooth consists of extracting it. Which is better? Depends on many factors. Can you use your wisdom tooth if you keep it? Will that wisdom tooth replace another molar that has previously extracted? The best would be to discuss it with your dentist.

If it is an adult molar (not a baby tooth), no - once it's gone, it is gone forever.
What is the point of a root canal?
Root canals are not needed because of braces. It is just a coincidence if you need a root canal after you have had braces. Most likely what happened is that your home care was not the best while you had braces on so you developed a cavity. If the cavity is not treated it continues to get worse. Once the cavity gets close to the nerve of the tooth a root canal will have to be performed and the tooth will need a crown on it.
