Determining the pulp condition
Symptoms, pulp tests and X-rays help distinguish reversible pulpitis, irreversible pulpitis or necrosis.
Root Canal TreatmentClean the canals, save the tooth
Root canal treatment cleans inflamed or necrotic canals, seals them and restores the tooth with a tooth-saving plan at Viet Han.
What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment removes inflamed or necrotic pulp and cleans and shapes the canal system before sealing it. Afterwards the tooth needs a suitable restoration so it can keep chewing.
Cleaning the canal system
Diseased tissue and bacteria are removed with instruments and dedicated irrigating solutions.
Restoring the crown
A filling or protective crown is considered based on the remaining structure and the chewing load.

Spontaneous or night-time pain
Prolonged pain may be related to irreversible pulpitis.
Deep decay
Decay approaching or reaching the pulp chamber needs to be assessed.
A discolored tooth or an infection

Guidance and follow-up

Ask about the processWhat to know before and after root canal treatment
Following your dentist's personalized instructions makes treatment and aftercare go more smoothly.
Before treatment
Share your expectations clearly: Explain what bothers you about color and shape and how natural you want the result to look.
Check your oral health: Treat decay, gum inflammation or active bite problems before restoration.
Understand the conservative options: Ask your dentist to explain the extent of preparation, the materials and any alternatives.
Confirm costs and timeline: Agree on the number of teeth, material, temporaries, try-in appointments and follow-up policy.
After completion
Avoid excessive force: Do not use the restored teeth to crush ice, open bottles or chew very hard objects.
Clean carefully along the gumline: Brush with the correct technique and use floss or a water flosser as instructed.
Pay attention to how your bite feels: Contact the clinic if your bite feels high, sensitivity persists, your gums bleed or food gets trapped unusually.
Attend follow-up visits on time: Checking margins, contact points and bite helps detect anything that needs adjusting early.

Frequently asked questions about Root Canal Treatment
Common questions before choosing the right treatment option.
Is root canal treatment painful?
How it feels depends on your condition and the technique used. The orthodontist will explain suitable ways to manage discomfort before treatment.
How long does root canal treatment take?
Duration differs from person to person and can only be estimated after the dentist checks your actual condition. Treatment may include cleaning the canal system, monitoring the response, sealing and completing the crown restoration.
How is the cost of root canal treatment calculated?
The cost depends on the scope, materials or appliances and any supporting treatment. The plan and costs are discussed before treatment begins.
Do I need check-ups after treatment?
Yes. Check-ups help the dentist evaluate your response, check hygiene and address anything that needs adjusting early.
Does every tooth need a porcelain crown after root canal treatment?
How the crown is restored depends on the remaining tooth structure, tooth position and chewing forces. The dentist may suggest different ways to protect the tooth after root canal treatment rather than one option for everyone.
If the pain is gone, can I skip the remaining root canal appointments?
Do not end treatment yourself just because symptoms have eased. Cleaning the canals and restoring the tooth may not be finished yet, and the temporary filling also needs monitoring.
