This type of treatment is usually performed on single-rooted teeth, most commonly the front incisors and canines. Infections in these teeth can quickly reach the nerve, causing intense pain and heightened sensitivity.
The procedure typically lasts 1 to 1.5 hours, though in more complex cases, additional visits may be necessary. After treatment, some temporary discomfort when biting may occur, but it usually resolves within a few days.
Important:
Single-rooted teeth are subject to less chewing pressure, but after root canal treatment, they can become more fragile. Therefore, in some cases, your dentist may recommend placing a dental crown for added protection.
What to know after root canal treatment:
- Mild sensitivity in the first few days is normal and expected.
- Avoid hard foods and excessive pressure on the treated tooth.
- Complete the restoration (with a filling or crown) to prevent future damage.
- Regular check-ups with your dentist are essential to maintain the tooth’s long-term health.
