Root Canal Treatment
Dental
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the canals, and lets you keep the tooth. It usually takes 1–3 visits, and back teeth normally need a crown afterwards to prevent cracking.

Signs you may need one

Lingering pain with hot or cold, pain when biting, swelling of the gum, or a darkened tooth.

For visitors

Ask whether the clinic has an endodontist and whether the crown can be completed before you leave Bangkok.

Frequently asked questions
