Single-sitting root canal
When the nerve inside a tooth is infected, root canal treatment removes the infection, cleans and seals the canals, and saves the tooth. With modern rotary instruments and good anaesthesia, it feels much like a filling.

Single-sitting root canal: common questions
Is root canal treatment painful?
It is done under local anaesthetic, so most patients feel little more than with a filling.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Back teeth usually need a crown to prevent cracking; your dentist will advise.
