Years ago, it was typical for the root canal to be done in two visits because if the tooth was filled after having cleaned it out in the same visit, sometimes the tooth would flare up. They asked if i would like them to start on it then and there and due to lack of options (tooth really sore) i said yes. An antibiotic medicament is left in the canal to help reduce the bacteria.
However, it is important to continue with the treatment lest the infection recur. How much time should I leave between root canal stage and root canal stage ?
Stage : this involves further. I usually recommend waiting days between first stage and second stage root canal treatment. Waiting a long time between first stage and second stage root canal treatment may result in the temporary filling deteriorating and leaking and resulting in new infection. Root Canal Treatment:- After 2-weeks post the first stage of treatment, the second stage of the root canal treatment is completed. At this appointment the temporary filling placed on top of the tooth at the end of the last appointment is removed.
If so, our walk-through of root canal treatment will show you what to expect from this tooth-saving procedure, which becomes necessary when an infection reaches deep inside a tooth.
