how long to wait after root canal to get a crown put on?

i had a root canal very recently, and basically paid out of pocket, out of lack of dental insurance (im a student, and pretty damn poor!). i now need to get the crown put on, but i will have to start all over again and start saving for it. how long can i possibly wait before having it done?

You can wait a year or two before the tooth weakens enough to break. The amount of filling material in the tooth will also make a difference, the more fillings the greater the chance of breakage. Remember, the longer you wait the greater the chance of that happening.
