What is the ideal interval between two root canal treatments. My doctor did the first root canal today and gave the next appointment 7 days later. So I am really worried about this long gap. Is it okay? Or should I visit another doctor?

Hello sir there is no required gap between two root canals they can be done on the same day itself...if they are on the same side.

Hello, Generally 3-4 days interval is ideal for the Intra canal medicament to act.In some cases 7 days,depends on the infection.
