The Treatment Plan
You will need to have at least two appointments if you have root canal treatment.
Appointment 1 Remove infection, clean and fill.
1- At the first visit, the dentist will remove any infected pulp and drain any abscesses. The root canal can then be cleaned and shaped ready for filling.
2- A temporary root filling is placed and the tooth is left for a short time to settle down before the next stage of the treatment.
Appointment 2 Examination and permanently filled.
1- The dentist will check that the pulp is clear from infection before the tooth is permanently filled
2- Alternatively, the tooth can be crowned. The dentist will advise you on the best option for you.
