If your dentist has diagnosed you have a cracked tooth and says you need a root canal, then do it. If you have pain chewing and sensation to hot and cold on that tooth, then I don't see how a root canal can be avoided, unless you want the tooth extracted. Follow his advice, have the root canal to fix the tooth.
