Do I Really Need a Root Canal

2018-01-05 13:55:38
My two molars have crowns that need replacing. I am not in pain. X-rays confirm no abscess and there is no infection in either tooth...lower left 1st molar and lower left premolar. The treatment plan calls for root canal treatment on both teeth before new crowns to be fitted. Again, the tooths' nerves are not a problem currently. Current dentist wants to perform root canal now before fitting new crowns...before they could become problems. Are we being too hasty? Yay or nay to the root canals?
