I can't afford a crown on my root canal?
If you cannot afford a crown immediately after a root canal, discuss temporary options with your dentist. A well‑made temporary filling or a temporary crown can protect the tooth for a few months, but delaying a permanent crown increases the risk of fracture and reinfection.
- A temporary crown or strong filling can protect the tooth for a limited time, but it is not a permanent solution.
- Discuss payment options or package pricing with your clinic; many offer competitive rates for combined treatment.
- Avoid chewing on that side until you can afford the permanent crown to reduce fracture risk.

Does a root canal hurt?
No—a root canal is performed with local anesthesia that numbs the tooth and surrounding area completely.
