Yes …otherwise you risk destroying a new bridge if a tooth becomes infected after permanent placement of the brights the dentist will have to drill through the crown of the new bridge to do the root canal.
It depends, not every tooth requires a root canal before crown and bridgework. Your dentist will assess if you need a root canal before the bridge.
Yes, if one of the anchor teeth for a bridge needs a root canal, it is better to do it before the bridge.
