With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime. It is important to maintain good oral health practices, including brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist regularly.
The only alternative to a root canal treatment is extracting the tooth. However, tooth extraction should be considered as a last resort, as it can lead to additional dental problems and the need for tooth replacement options like dental implants or bridges.
The duration of a root canal treatment depends on the complexity of the case and the tooth being treated. In most cases, the procedure can be completed in one to two visits.
