As soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more chance there is of the temporary filling falling out and bacteria contaminating the inside of the tooth. Also, the tooth may fracture since root canal treated teeth have often been previously weakened by extensive decay.

Within a couple weeks is usually a good time.

Generally speaking, sooner is better than later.

Not getting a crown can result in the tooth fracturing, and a crown might not be possible then. Also, if the tooth with the root canal is visible when you smile, it may turn dark and diminish your smile. A crown will prevent that.

Waiting a few weeks before getting the crown is not always a bad idea, though. Allowing some time to pass will determine that the root canal was successful before investing in an expensive crown that might be lost if the tooth has to be extracted.

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

How long can a tooth stay in your mouth after the nerve has been removed?

It is important to know that the nerve is removed not killed. If a tooth has had to fight a long infection, many times the tooth is dead, which means it is unable to fight the infection present inside the canal. The treatment for this situation is root canal therapy. Most of the time the patient does not feel anything throughout the procedure except the delivery of local anesthesia. The treatment goal is to clean the canal space and remove all nerve tissue and bacteria that is present inside the canal. A successful root canal treatment will remove the pain experienced by the patient immediately unless the infection has spread outside the root around the tooth, then it may still be sensitive to biting forces. So to answer your question, the nerve is removed and therefore there is ideally no nerve tissue left in the tooth after the procedure.

How long after root canal treatment on a tooth should it take to deaden the tooth?

Immediately After Treatment: A root canal removes the pulp (nerve and blood supply), so the tooth is technically non-vital or "dead" immediately after the procedure. Residual Sensation: Some patients may feel slight sensitivity or discomfort for a few days post-treatment due to inflammation in surrounding tissues, not from the tooth itself. Healing Time: Full healing of the surrounding bone and tissue can take a few weeks to months, even though the tooth itself is already dead. No More Pain Signals: Since the nerve is removed, the tooth no longer sends pain signals; any lingering discomfort usually comes from the healing process. Crown Placement Timing: A crown is typically placed 1–2 weeks after the root canal once the area has settled, further protecting the now-dead tooth.


I have a root- canaled canine tooth that has a chip on the root of the tooth just below the gum can this tooth be saved?

First we need to know how long ago did you get the root canal done? Is it done well? How is your periodontal health and the adjacent teeth? If the answer to all these questions is positive, ie a) your periodontium and gingiva surrounding the tooth in question and general oral hygiene is good. b) Your adjacent teeth are strong and healthy. c) The root canal was done properly and the tooth was sealed well. How deep below the gingival margin is the chip? Then, i believe you can save your tooth still with a full crown on it. You need to visit an endodontist for specialist opinion. An x-ray of the tooth will confirm the status and prognosis of the tooth.
