Back teeth usually need a crown after root canal treatment, because they become more brittle. Your dentist will advise.

## Single visit or several visits?

Root canal treatment typically takes one to three visits. The dentist recommends single-visit or multi-visit treatment after the X-ray and examination.

## Is a root canal better than taking the tooth out?

Keeping your natural tooth is usually better for chewing and for the neighbouring teeth. Extraction may be needed if the tooth cannot be saved.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is root canal treatment painful?

The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. It usually relieves the toothache that brought you in.

### How long does a root-canal-treated tooth last?

With a good restoration and oral hygiene, it can last many years.
