Dear Enquirer,
A root canal is necessary when the tooth has extensive decay that has affected the deeper pulp layer that houses the nerve. If you do not look after your teeth with good oral hygiene, then the tooth can decay further.
If the root canal has not alleviated any symptoms of pain/tenderness, then the tooth can be re root filled.
The ceramic cap/crown is permanent and is needed to protect the root filled tooth from further breakage.

Are dental bridges good to have for decaying teeth
All dental disease needs to be treated – ie decay removed prior or at the time of the bridge preparation
