Will I have a crown after root canal treatment?

Q. I am 17 years old, and today had the first treatment of a root canal. All I was wanting to ask you, is will I have a crown afterwards? Also, I will admit, my dental hygiene is not the best in the world! I have 2 filling, the same tooth on either side of the mouth, however it is only the left hand side that requires a root canal, why is this?,
A. A root canal is usually required if there is an abscess associated with the tooth. There can be other reasons. In some circumsatances a crown may required after the treatment.
