Yes it is. If it cracks apart, it will only serve as a conduit to get the germs from the outside world to deep in your bone even quicker. It would be nice to go back in time and fix it, but you better go to the dentist as soon as you can to have it evaluated. You may have no choice at this point other than to get it removed, but maybe it's not as broken apart as you think it is.

Yes it is, a tooth can still become infected even after a Root Canal.

After a root canal the tooth has no blood, no life, so it becomes brittle-You should have had a crown put on it with a post inside to add strength.
Go to the Dentist and see if it can still be saved.

If you had a root canal, the tooth is no longer "live" so no, but if it is falling apart it might impact on the gums. did you have a crown put over the tooth after the root canal?
