Question regarding Root Canal/Crown
Recently got a root canal completed last week on my molar tooth. Today I was informed by my doctor that I need a crown. It's expensive and won't be able to get it until next month. Will I put myself teeth at risk if I wait?

Yes it would be a risk .But you can wait if you can't manage to get it done now.avoid biting anything hard from that side of tooth.heavy forces on that tooth could lead to a fracture.and get it done as soon as possible because RCT alone would not be of much help without a crown.

You can wait for a month no problem. Make sure the doctor has done a permanent filling and do not eat very hard things till your crown is done. Normal food is fine

You can wait but you have to take care of your tooth from fracture. Eat soft from that side till you get it crowned.
