Procedure
Root canal treatment in Mexico
Removal of infected pulp from inside a tooth, then sealing the canal so the tooth can be kept.
What the procedure involves
The dentist opens the tooth, removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the canals, and seals them. A crown usually follows.
Before
X-ray to map the canals. Antibiotics first if there is active infection.
After
A crown to protect the treated tooth, often in the same trip.
Trips across the border
This normally fits into a single trip. Sequencing matters more than the headline price: two extra round trips can eat a large part of what you save. How the crossing works.

Questions patients actually ask
How many trips to Mexico does root canal treatment take?
Usually one trip, though that depends on what the imaging shows once you are in the chair. Ask for the plan in writing before you travel.
What should I get in writing before I travel?
A written quote that lists each stage, the materials being used, what the price includes and excludes, and what happens if something needs redoing. If a clinic will not put the plan in writing before you cross the border, that tells you something.
How do I know the dentist doing this is actually qualified?
Every dentist listed on this site has their cédula profesional number published with the date it was confirmed against the federal registry, and the profile links to the registry so you can repeat the check. For a surgical procedure, also look at whether they hold specialty certification and whether it is still inside its validity window.
