Left untreated, an infected or inflamed tooth root can result in more severe infections, abscesses and the loss of teeth.

The length of the procedure can vary depending on the complexity of the case, but it usually takes one to two visits to complete. Each visit can last from 60 to 90 minutes.

During the procedure, the dentist or endodontist will numb the area around the tooth, create an opening in the tooth, remove the infected or damaged pulp, clean and shape the root canals, and then fill and seal them. The tooth is then restored with a filling or crown.

After a root canal, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly, avoiding chewing on hard foods with the treated tooth until it's fully restored, and attending regular dental check-ups.
