A member asked:
I had my tooth done with root canal procedures last 2007. is it true that it should be pulled off after 10 years? how long does a root canal last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No time limit: Correctly treated and appropriately restored, a root canal treated tooth could last a lifetime. There are other factors like regular visits to your dentist, oral hygiene, etc... That all lay a roll, but it should last longer than 10 years if you and your dentist follow conventional routine.
