Re: ROOT CANAL/CROWN NOW OR LATER?

Why not a new composite restoration? Root canal
therapy weakens a tooth a great deal, especially
when the inside gets hollowed out.

I'm 43 y.o. I have a bottom rear molar with an old large amalgam that
is occasionally cold sensitive. Should I get it root canalled now or
wait until I start experience real difficulty with it? I also ask
because my dental insurance will be running out soon and I doubt I'll
be getting new dental insurance any time soon.

Also, if i get the root canal, should I go with a gold crown
(aesthetics don't concern me, strength does) or are the new ceramic
crowns good enough? Recommendation of particular brand of ceramic
crowns?

thanks for any advice
