Frequently asked questions
Is root canal treatment painful?
No! Modern techniques and anesthesia make root canal treatment virtually painless. Most patients report it's no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. The procedure actually relieves pain.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canal treatments can be completed in one or two visits, with each appointment lasting 60-90 minutes depending on the tooth's complexity.
What happens if I don't get a root canal?
Without treatment, the infection will spread, causing increased pain, abscess formation, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss. Early treatment is essential.
How long will the tooth last after treatment?
With proper care and a crown for protection, a tooth after root canal treatment can last a lifetime. Regular dental checkups ensure long-term success.
Do you use specialized technology for root canal treatment?
Yes, we use a dental microscope to help our specialist perform the root canal treatment with greater precision. This advanced technology allows us to see the intricate details of the root canal system, ensuring a more thorough and successful treatment.
What should I expect after a root canal (recovery and sensitivity)?
After a root canal, it's normal to have mild soreness or sensitivity for a few days, especially when biting, and it usually improves with over-the-counter pain relief. Try to chew on the other side until the tooth gets its final restoration (often a crown), and call your dentist if you have severe pain, swelling, fever, or symptoms that don't improve after several days.
