A successful root canal can last for many years, and many last a lifetime.
The long-term success depends on several factors, including how much healthy tooth remains, whether the tooth is properly restored with a filling or crown when needed, and how well it’s cared for at home.
Brushing, flossing, regular dental checkups, and avoiding habits like chewing ice all help protect your treated tooth.
