Frequently Asked Questions
The root canal is the natural cavity within your tooth that contains the pulp chamber and nerve canals. When this area becomes infected, a root canal procedure is necessary to preserve the natural tooth without extracting it. The process involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning the canal, and sealing it to prevent further complications.
Common signs that you may need a root canal include severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling around the tooth, and discoloration of the tooth. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult with your dentist for an evaluation. Book an appointment now to ask our team if a root canal is right for you.
Root canals have a reputation for being painful, but with modern dentistry, the procedure is usually no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure. Any discomfort after the treatment can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
A root canal typically requires 1 to 2 appointments, depending on your unique situation. Each appointment can last between 60 to 90 minutes.
After a root canal, it’s normal to experience some sensitivity or mild discomfort for a few days. Your dentist will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. It’s also important to follow up with a restorative procedure, like placing a crown, to protect the treated tooth.
