Root canals can be done as many as 1 to 6 at a time depending on site in the mouth. There are lots of factors that must be considered when deciding numbers of root canal can be done at a time.
It depends on the case and on the particular patient. You should consider how long you can keep your mouth open. Most people can open wide for no more than an hour. Therefore, most patients can have only one root canal done per visit.

Hi, In my experience, I have treated patients who need multiple root canals during the same setting. There are a lot of factors that go into treating multiple teeth at the same visit including the level of difficulty in the teeth needing treatment, the patient’s general health, and the location of the teeth requiring treatment. Obviously, patients should be healthy enough to tolerate an extended set that may be needed to perform multiple root canals at one time. It may be a good idea- - - if the teeth how far apart possibly schedule separate visits. Getting Novocaine in different quadrants is never a fun thing to do from a patient perspective. Good luck.
