After a root canal procedure, the treated tooth can become more brittle over time due to the loss of its nerve supply and blood flow, which can affect its vitality and structural integrity. Additionally, the removal of infected or damaged tissue can weaken the tooth. To prevent fracture, dentists often recommend placing a crown on the tooth after a root canal, providing added strength and protection. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the tooth's condition post-treatment.

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

Brief about root canal implant?
A root canal implant is not a procedure but two separate treatments—root canal therapy preserves a natural tooth by removing infected pulp, and a dental implant replaces a missing or removed tooth with an artificial tooth embedded in the jawbone. When a tooth cannot be saved using a root canal, it might be removed and replaced by a dental implant for long-term aesthetics and function. For more details, visit FMS Dental Hyderabad
Can you get dry socket from a root canal?
No. By definition, a 'dry socket' is a painful condition that occurs following a tooth extraction, not a root canal. That is not to say that you cannot have pain following a root canal. You can, particularly if the tooth was acutely infected at the time of the root canal, or if the root canal is incomplete. You should consult with the dentist who performed the procedure and follow his/her recommendations.
