Dental issues can be hard to cure, but modern dentistry offers several ways to decrease the discomfort. One often asked question is if a root canal and a dental crown may be done during the same appointment. Let’s evaluate its credibility as well as its benefits. Traditional Process vs. Same-Day Procedures These two procedures are traditionally done in two visits. But today, technological advances permit both procedures to be done in a single visit. Advantages Of Same-Day Root Canal And Crown Process Time Savings: – Doing both procedures at the same appointment prevents you from visiting the dentist twice.

A root canal, also called endodontic treatment, is carried out to save a tooth that is severely infected or decayed. The infected tooth pulp is disinfected and cleaned using various dental procedures to remove the bacteria; then, it is filled and sealed by your dentist. Nearly 41,000 root canals are performed in the  U.S. a day. However, it is believed that up to 15% of people in the U.S. avoid visiting dentists due to the common myths and fear of dental pain.
