A member asked:
Do you think i should avoid a root canal or a crown by doing a laser nerve treatment for my tooth?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No: The laser nerve treatment is another way to do a root canal. The tooth needs a root canal and later a crown regardless of the style of root canal treatment chosen. The tooth becomes dehydrated following root canal therapy. The crown offers the tooth strength to resist fracture.

No: If you have an tooth infection or an irritated tooth you must either have root canal therapy or an extraction. Not all, but many teeth will need a crown after root canal treatment. Your dentist will advise you. Laser nerve treatment is a newer way to perform root canal treatment. It's not very popular and by definition it's still root canal treatment.

Laser? Really!: As a root canal specialist, having performed 30, 000 in my career, i can authoritatively tell you a laser does not equate to a root canal therapy.
