Yes. If the nerve inside of a tooth dies, it is prone to infection (if not infected already). Root canal treatment should prevent or resolve this infection. A tooth may die for various reasons such as: decay, trauma, extensive wear/grinding/abrasion.
Call the dentist that did your root canal or any current dentist. When the nerve dies the tooth turns grey. Then the tooth has to be pulled. Depending on where your 'root canal' is, you may need a bridge or implant. This was my experience. Cost would depend on the dentist fee and insurance consideration. Blessings.
that is a root canal of a molar tooth. Meaning the dentist is removing the nerve and pulp of the tooth.
Is replacing bonded tooth with a crown necessary to prevent root canal?
root canal
Regularly practicing good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing can prevent cavities from reaching the pulp of the tooth. Visiting your dentist for routine checkups allows them to detect and treat dental issues, such as tooth decay or cracks, before they require a root canal.
The only alternative to performing a root canal procedure is to extract the diseased tooth.
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
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

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.
what could have happened is that the root canal was not done properly, or the tooth was so damaged that the root canal did not work. In this event, the tooth may have to be pulled (its what happened to me about a week ago)
