When one visit is enough, and when it is not
In short
A single-sitting root canal cleans, disinfects and seals the tooth in one visit of about 60 to 90 minutes. It suits teeth with mild or moderate infection and no swelling. Teeth with an abscess, pus or swelling are usually treated in two sittings, with medicine placed inside the tooth in between. The dentist decides after the examination and X-ray.

For busy patients, and for people travelling from outside Guntur, fewer visits matter. Single-sitting root canal treatment is a good option for many teeth, but not all. Here is how the decision is made.
When single-sitting root canal is suitable
- Pain without swelling. the pulp is inflamed or infected, but there is no abscess.
- Canals that can be dried. no pus or continuous discharge from the canals.
- Healthy patient. able to keep the mouth open comfortably for a longer appointment.
When two sittings are safer
- Abscess or pus. medicine is placed inside the tooth for a few days to settle the infection.
- Facial swelling. the swelling is brought down first.
- Complex molars or re-treatment. narrow, curved or previously filled canals can need more time.
What happens in a single sitting
- Numbing. local anaesthesia so the tooth is comfortable.
- Cleaning. the infected pulp is removed and the canals are shaped and disinfected.
- Sealing. the canals are filled and sealed, and the tooth gets a filling.
- Crown later. a crown for back teeth is usually fitted in a later visit.

About 60 to 90 minutes, a little longer for molars.
Will there be pain after a single-sitting root canal?
Mild soreness for 2 to 3 days is common and settles with the painkillers the dentist prescribes.
