Back bottom right corner of molar broke. will i have to get a root canal?

Not necessarily: If the pulp (nerve) is still alive and not exposed by the fracture, you probably don't need root canal work.

See your dentist: Only a toothache or swelling or clinical evaluation could indicate that a tooth needs a root canal. See your dentist for consultation and treatment.
