What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a procedure that treats the inside of a tooth when it becomes infected or damaged. It involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the canal, and sealing it to prevent further infection.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Common symptoms indicating the need for a root canal include severe toothache, sensitivity to hot and cold, swollen gums, and abscesses.
-
Is a root canal painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during a root canal procedure due to modern techniques and anesthesia. The pain often associated with root canals is typically from the infection itself, not the treatment. Our team at Diamond Dental ensures a comfortable experience with effective pain management.
-
How long does a root canal take?
The procedure typically takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Some cases may require multiple visits, but your dentist will provide a clear treatment plan. After the procedure, you may experience some sensitivity, but this usually subsides within a few days.
-
What happens after a root canal?
After a root canal, a crown is often placed on the tooth to protect it and restore its function. The tooth may feel sensitive for a few days, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. It’s important to follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions and attend any follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and success of the treatment.
