Doctor, I’ve been experiencing persistent tooth pain and sensitivity and I think I might need a root canal. I’m worried about how long the procedure might take because of my busy schedule. Can you explain the duration and what I should expect during the treatment?
At Ashford Dental Centre, a typical root canal treatment usually takes about 60 to 90 minutes per visit, depending on the complexity of the tooth and the extent of infection. Some cases may require two or more visits if the tooth has multiple canals or severe infection. The procedure involves cleaning out the infected pulp, disinfecting the canals and sealing them to prevent further infection, all done carefully to ensure comfort and long-term results.
