Dentist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM forum,
I would like you to know that a root cala treatment is prescribed when the tooth decay has infected the deeper parts of the tooth.
As a preventive measure to infection and inflammation we advise root canal treatment to avoid loss of tooth in future.
Root canal treatment can take single to a maximum of3-4 dental visits, depends on each case.
Dentist first removes the infected tissue from the tooth, cleans it and then fills the tooth with a filling material.
After completion of root canal treatment dentiat might advise you for a crown on the tooth to make tooth stronger .

I hope this answer was useful.
I wish you good health
Take care.
