What it is

A root canal removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the canals, and usually ends with a crown to protect the tooth. Price depends on the tooth (front or molar) and whether retreatment is needed.

Trips needed

Typically 1 to 2 visits for the root canal itself. A crown is usually a separate visit or two, which adds time and cost.
