How many sessions does root canal treatment take?
Depending on the case, one or more sessions. The number depends on the type of tooth, the number and shape of the canals, and whether or not there is an infection.
Root canal treatment
A front tooth often has only one canal, whereas a molar generally has three or four, sometimes narrow or curved. The more complex the anatomy, the longer the treatment takes.
When the tooth is infected, the dentist may choose to place a disinfecting product in the canals for a few days before filling them permanently. Treatment then takes two sessions or more.
Each session generally takes a significant amount of time, because the canals are cleaned meticulously. Check X-rays are taken during treatment to verify the length and quality of the filling.
Once the canals are filled, the tooth still needs to be restored, with a filling or a crown. This step is essential and is part of the treatment plan the dentist presents to you.
This is a general answer. Only a consultation at the practice can tell what suits your situation.
