Follow advice: If your dentist has recommended a root canal, make sure you understand if any other procedures will be necessary afterwards. Will it need a build, a post or even a crown. Just having the root canal without completing the restoration is not good.

Root canal advise : Be calm. The goal of root canal treatment is to remove the damaged tooth nerve and the bacteria that is causing the infection. The procedure is done under local anesthetic which means that it won’t hurt. After your treatment, it's important to take care of your repaired tooth and complete permanent restoration (e.g. crown, filling, inlay). Good luck.
