Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canals

Why have a root canal?

Root canals are needed when the pulp inside the tooth becomes diseased. This can happen either when a cavity goes untreated and infection spreads to the pulp, or when a tooth undergoes some sort of trauma that allows bacteria inside. In either case, we can usually save the tooth with root canal treatment.

Are root canals painful?

While they have that reputation, most patients find a root canal no more uncomfortable than receiving a filling. The procedure eliminates pain; it doesn’t cause it! We’ll numb your mouth with local anesthesia so you don’t feel pain. You may find it easier to relax if you also receive dental sedation.

What does a root canal do?

Root canal treatment is a procedure in which your dentist cleans out the infected inner portion of your tooth known as the pulp. Infection can reach the pulp because of an untreated cavity or injury to the tooth. After removing the pulp, we seal the inner chambers with a rubberlike material to prevent future problems, then cap the tooth with a crown.
