How long does a root canal filling usually take?

Root canal filling usually takes 5 to 12 days. The time taken for the procedure to be carried out is related to the elimination of inflammation in the root canal, so the time needed may vary from patient to patient.
Root canal filling is the last step of root canal treatment, and it can only be performed when there is no odor, oozing and other symptoms in the root canal, i.e., after the inflammation in the root canal is eliminated. Generally speaking, patients with endodontics need a shorter time to have their root canals filled, while patients with periapical inflammation need to take care of inflammation in the periapical area, so they need a longer period of time.
After root canal filling, patients should not consume irritating and too hard foods, such as chili peppers and baguettes, etc. After root canal treatment, if you feel any abnormalities in your body, you need to seek medical treatment in time to minimize the impact on your body, and don’t change the treatment mode privately during the treatment period.
