Single sitting root canal treatment is a dental procedure in which infected or damaged tooth pulp is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed in a single appointment. Root canal treatment is performed to save a severely decayed, infected, or damaged tooth and prevent extraction.
Inside every tooth is soft tissue called pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures, it can cause severe pain, swelling, sensitivity, and infection. During a single sitting root canal treatment, the infected pulp is removed, the root canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed during the same visit.
Advancements in dental technology and instruments have made single sitting root canal treatment a fast, effective, and convenient option for many patients.
