Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Sittings Do You Require for a Root Canal?
Dr. Riddhi completes root canal treatments in a single sitting for 99 percent of cases.
However, in rare situations where the infection is severe or additional cleaning is required, a few more visits may be recommended to ensure flawless long-term results.
Do I Need a Cap After a Root Canal Procedure?
In most cases, yes. After a tooth root canal, the tooth becomes more fragile because the infected tissue has been removed. A dental crown (cap) reinforces the tooth, restoring its strength and protecting it from future fractures or damage. Skipping a crown can compromise the long-term success of your treatment.
What Happens If You Delay Root Canal Treatment?
Delaying a root canal treatment can lead to serious consequences:
- A decayed tooth cannot heal on its own; infection continues spreading deeper
- Your natural tooth may become unsalvageable, requiring extraction
- Untreated infection can travel into the bloodstream, contributing to severe conditions such as sepsis, heart attack or stroke
- Persistent inflammation may cause swelling, pain and widespread oral complications
Early treatment prevents major health issues and preserves your natural teeth.
Is Pulling a Tooth Better Than Having Root Canal Treatment?
While extraction may seem like a quick, inexpensive solution, it often causes long-term complications:
Why a Root Canal Is Usually the Better Choice:
- Shifting teeth — gaps left behind can cause surrounding teeth to move out of alignment
- Chewing difficulties and aesthetic concerns — missing teeth affect functionality and the appearance of your smile
- Oral hygiene challenges — misalignment leads to food trapping, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease
- Higher long-term cost — after extraction, you’ll need an implant or bridge to maintain proper alignment, both of which cost significantly more than a root canal followed by a crown
In most cases, saving the natural tooth with a root canal treatment is safer, more efficient and more cost-effective.
