Root Canal Treatment 101

A root canal is a dental procedure to save a tooth with an infected pulp. First, the dentist administers local anesthesia. Then, they create an opening in the tooth’s crown to access the infected pulp.

Using tiny instruments, they remove the pulp, clean the root canals, and fill them with a biocompatible material. Finally, the dentist seals the tooth with a temporary filling and may place a crown for added protection.

Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?

While some discomfort is expected after any dental procedure, modern techniques and anesthesia make root canals significantly less painful than in the past. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and any pain can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
