Root canal treatment, carried out several times in stages, especially for molars. For this dental treatment, you will come to the dentist 3 to 4 times. However, the treatment procedure per one visit is not long.
The root canal procedure is completed in two separate visits to ensure that the tooth is thoroughly cleaned out, sealed up, and protected from further damage.
After a root canal, a dentist can recommend a crown to restore the tooth. Needing one depends on the location of the tooth in the mouth and the strength of the part of the tooth that is left. Teeth toward the back of the mouth, like premolars and molars, will likely need crowns.
