A member asked:
Will root canal affect or cause any problem on nearby tooth?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
It shouldn't: Root canal therapy is performed individually, one tooth at a time.

No, it will not.: If done properly a root canal will have no adverse effect on neighboring teeth. However, it you need a root canal and do not get it done, the resulting infection could damage neighboring teeth. Bottom line - if you need it get the root canal done.

Definitely, no: It will not cause any problems in adjacent teeth.
