What Our Patients Say

Root Canal Procedure

Root canal treatment is completed in three simple steps to eliminate infection and preserve your natural tooth.

Step 1: Examination & Preparation

Your dentist examines the tooth, takes digital X-rays, and creates a personalized treatment plan before beginning the procedure.

Step 2: Cleaning the Root Canals

After numbing the area with local anesthesia, the infected pulp is removed, and the canals are carefully cleaned, disinfected, and sealed.

Step 3: Tooth Restoration

The treated tooth is restored with a filling or, when recommended, a dental crown to protect it and restore normal function.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canal Treatment

When do I need a root canal?

If you’ve been experiencing persistent tooth pain or discomfort, it may be time to consider a root canal. Here are common signs:

  • Ongoing pain that may come and go, especially when chewing or putting pressure on the tooth. It often gets worse at night or doesn’t improve with painkillers.
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers even after the stimulus is removed.
  • Darkening of the gums near the affected tooth, which may indicate that the pulp is dead.
  • Bad taste or chronic bad breath due to bacterial buildup.

Most patients should plan to stay in Mexico for 2 to 5 days, depending on the complexity of the treatment and whether a permanent crown is needed afterward. Many root canals can be completed in a single appointment, but some cases require a second visit to ensure the tooth is properly cleaned and sealed. Your dentist will evaluate your condition and recommend a treatment schedule before you travel whenever possible.

It is often possible to have more than one root canal during the same appointment, especially if the teeth are in the same area of the mouth and your overall health allows for a longer procedure. The exact number depends on factors such as the complexity of each tooth, the length of the appointment, and your comfort. Your dentist will recommend the safest and most efficient treatment plan based on your needs.

Yes. Many root canals can be completed in a single visit, particularly when the tooth is not severely infected and the canals can be thoroughly cleaned and sealed in one appointment. However, if there is significant infection, inflammation, or a more complex anatomy, your dentist may recommend two visits to achieve the best long-term outcome.

A root canal involves removing the infected pulp from inside the tooth. Once removed, the area is cleaned and filled with a biocompatible material. The tooth is then sealed and usually restored with a crown for added protection.

Steps include:

  • Diagnosis: We request an X-ray or CT scan to assess the tooth’s shape, damage, and number of canals.
  • Anesthesia and isolation: A rubber dam is placed around the tooth to keep the area sterile, and local anesthesia is used.
  • Accessing the pulp chamber: A small opening is made to reach the infected tissue.
  • Cleaning and disinfecting: Special tools and solutions are used to remove the infection and clean the canals.
  • Sealing: The canals are filled with gutta-percha to prevent future infections. Posts may be placed if reinforcement is needed.
  • Restoration: The tooth is then restored with composite or, more commonly, a crown for long-term strength and function.


At Shtern Clinic, we use technologies like microscopes and rotary systems to improve accuracy and reduce treatment time.

Not with modern anesthetics. Root canals are designed to relieve pain, not cause it. At Shtern Clinic, we use techniques that make the procedure more comfortable and help reduce anxiety.
