Avoid root canal at all cost

A modern root canal treatment is nothing like those old sayings! It's very similar to a routine filling and can usually be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the condition of your tooth and your personal circumstances. Getting a root canal is relatively painless and extremely effective. You'll be back to smiling, biting and chewing with ease in no time.

Why? I've had several (bad teeth runs in my family), and it beats the hell out of dentures.
And you don't necessarily need a root canal to get the tooth reconstructed (dentist will decide that on a case by case basis), but if your tooth is chipping and you want it repaired, I would HIGHLY recommend getting it capped/crowned. Reconstructed teeth tend to break again over time. And the new crowns tend to be made of Zirconium, which is much sturdier stuff than the old porcelain crowns. I've had about half a dozen teeth capped this way.
