Root canal myths vs. facts
Myth: root canals are extremely painful. Fact: the tooth is fully numbed before treatment begins, and most patients describe the procedure itself as no more uncomfortable than getting a filling - the pain people associate with root canals is usually the infection that made treatment necessary in the first place, which the procedure relieves.
Myth: it is better to just pull the tooth. Fact: extraction is faster and sometimes necessary, but a saved natural tooth typically functions, feels, and lasts better than a bridge or implant, and preserving your natural bite is almost always the better long-term outcome when the tooth can be saved. Myth: recovery takes weeks. Fact: most patients return to normal activities the next day, with only mild soreness for a day or two, similar to recovering from a routine filling.
What to expect
1
Exam and imaging - we confirm the tooth needs a root canal using digital X-rays.
2
Numbing - the area is fully numbed before we begin.
3
Cleaning the canal - the infected or inflamed tissue inside the tooth is carefully removed.
4
Sealing - the cleaned canal is filled and sealed to prevent reinfection.
5
Temporary or permanent filling - the tooth is restored the same day or with a temporary until a crown is placed.
6
Crown placement - most root-canaled teeth need a crown afterward, typically a separate visit.
Is this right for you?
- You have lingering tooth pain, especially with hot or cold
