Our experts from the department of prosthodontics suggest you to kindly visit your dentist to check the strength of the remaining natural tooth. If it's too weak, better get a crown. Else, you can wait

Yes it is important to get it fixed after root canal. As the teeth gets brittle & teeth can break anytime. So it’s better to get it fixed immediately. Go to the nearby dental clinic with safety precautions
