Root canal: Most endodontists ( root canal specialists) complete root canals in one visit. Sometimes complications will require a second visit. At this point you should have the tooth re-evaluated by an endodontist.

Typically 2-3: It takes 2-3 appointments to finish a molar endo/ rct. It might take longer if the infection is persistant or any endo surgery is needed. 10 is still a high number. Are you sure it is to finish the rct and not post, core crown etc.

Specialist : If your dentist is unable to do your rootcanal than you need to see an endodontist. Your dentist must have a referral network so ask them.
