How common is it to have to have a root canal done shortly after having a new crown?

It can happen. Removing a lot of the tooth for a crown can cause the tooth to go into "shock" and die. Meaning it needs a root canal. Or it could have been that the tooth was so decayed that it was very close to exposing the nerve when all of the decay was removed. Sometimes teeth heal themselves and other times they don't and they need a root canal. It happens occasionally.
It is not very common but it's something that can happen.
Sometimes the pulp has extentions that are close to the edge of the tooth and that don't always show on an x-ray. That is why, in these cases, the pulp might be irritated after putting a crown, therefore needing a root canal.

Is a root canal necessary when getting a crown?
In my experience the answer is yes. I have had three root canals and only one crown. Let me explain before you get excited. I had an uneventful, yet rather expensive root canal/crown combo shortly after having my son 8 years ago. Then I had another root canal done in 2/08. I had a temporary filling in place. I never went to get the crown done because it was too expensive and I had lost my dental coverage. Well fast forward to today and I had to get another root canal on that same tooth because it became reinfected and was throbbing painful. So while researching "how long until Novocaine wears off". I saw this question was unanswered and thought I could share my experience. I know the entire root canal/crown thing is really darn expensive but in my experience don't wait, 'lest you want to do it all over again.' By the way, the charge to redo my root canal was more, not less expensive the second time around. You better believe I am getting my crown right away this time.
What protects a root canal?
Once root canal treatment is performed, the patient must have a crown placed over the tooth to protect it. The cost of the treatment and the crown may be expensive.
Do you need a crown if you have a root canal on a lower left molar performed over a bridge?
If you have a root canal done, most likely you'll need a crown. But if it was done through a bridge, there is already a crown on that tooth. A bride is just three or more crowns fused into one piece to replace a missing tooth. It is possible that doing a root canal through the brige will damage the bridge and the whole until may need to be replaced if that happens. But that's not common.
Can you lose a tooth easy after getting a root canal?
If you don't have a crown placed on a root canaled tooth, it could fracture or break resulting in the tooth having to be extracted.
What you have to do once root canal treatment completed?
After you've completed root canal therapy, it is always best to have a crown placed on the tooth to avoid having it break or fracture. Failure to do this in a timely manner could result in eventual loss of the tooth.
Should you have your crown replaced or filled after a retreatment root canal?
crowned.
I had apermanent crown put in September 09 and it still aches up in my jaw ocasionally ...its been 2 months...is this normal?
Not usually. The bite may be off, in which case it is just a matter of having the crown adjusted. It may also be that the tooth may need a root canal.
What is the difference between a dental post and dental build up?
A dental post is necessary when a root canal procedure has been done on a tooth that requires a crown. A build up is done on a tooth that needs a crown and has not had a root canal.
Can a root canal and crown be done in one day?
Usually - yes. Today, dentists have advanced instruments and equipment that makes it possible to complete a root canal in one appointment. Not all dentists have these instruments in their office, and some choose to perform a root canal the way they were taught in dental school many years ago. These procedures can take two or more appointments.You should also be aware that a tooth that has a root canal usually requires a restoration called a crown. This is because a tooth with a root canal will tend to get brittle and will likely fracture in the future. The crown will prevent this from happening. A crown usually requires at least two appointments, unless the dentist uses a Cerec crown mill in his office and the crown ins fabricated while you wait.Yes. A root canal can usually be performed in one appointement, unless there is an infection, or other complications that require more visits.
