get a second opinion. dentists will do anything they can to get business in the office. a crown should last a lifetime, or at a minimum of 20yrs if its done correctly. is he doing the root canal too? if not do not go to the person he recommends ask friends. alot of times the dental professionals r all in cahoots and $$$. enodontists, periodontists, the labs that do the crowns. impacted wisdom teeth shouldnt require removing bone. are you having any problems with the crown? or the tooth next to it. how are your gums? id want to see the xrays. ive never seen so many root canals being done on peoples teeth. all age groups.

The root canal was already done when i was 12...He says I need one on the tooth next to it ( which i don't believe), and I've never had a cavity before in my life. I brush my teeth twice a day every day.

But I saw the x-rays for the wisdom teeth and those babies need to come out

One of the x-rays shows my jaw and the tooth right under some bone I would say, and the other wisdom tooth is on a crash course with one of my molars

If you needed a root canal, it means you probably had a cavity at some point on that tooth.

No way, it sounds way too impossible to be true.
