Potential root canal

    Hey need a bit of advice on the following
    I have been to see a specialist about my tooth, i have been experiencing discomfort on one side of a bottom molar tooth only when i am eating and bite down on this area . It is not infected.
    I have had x rays done and and its suggested there MAY be a hairline fracture on the tooth and my options are if it is not bothering me too much to leave it be for now or the other option is root canal and a crown, but would this solve the problem. If there is a fracture will opening up the tooth show this crack? Has anybody had any similar experiences or can offer some advice:confused:

    That i can either take it out, leave it as it is, or root canal on the tooth
