Frequently Asked Questions

What is a root canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to treat infection or damage inside the soft tissue or pulp of a tooth. The process involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the area and then sealing the tooth to reduce the risk of further complications.

This treatment can help preserve your natural tooth and reduce the need for extraction.
Is a root canal painful?
A root canal is generally not painful, as local anesthesia is typically used to numb the affected area during the procedure. Modern techniques aim to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.

Post-procedure, mild discomfort may occur, but it is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients report that the experience is less painful than expected.
How long does a root canal take?
A root canal procedure typically takes one or two appointments, depending on the severity of the infection or damage. During your consultation, the dentist can assess your tooth’s condition and explain how many visits will be needed.

Each appointment generally lasts between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your individual case.
What happens after a root canal?
After a root canal, the tooth is sealed and may require further restoration, such as a dental crown, to protect it from damage.

It’s important to follow your dentist’s recommendations for follow-up care and maintain good oral hygiene to help ensure the treated tooth remains healthy. Regular check-ups can monitor the health of the treated tooth and detect any future complications.
