Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is a root canal painful?

Modern root canal treatments are virtually pain-free thanks to effective anesthesia and advanced techniques. Many patients say it’s no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.

How long does a root canal procedure take?

Most root canals can be completed in one to two visits, depending on the severity of the infection and the complexity of the tooth’s structure.

What happens if I don’t get a root canal?

Delaying treatment can lead to worsening pain, abscess formation, and the eventual loss of the tooth. Infection may also spread to other parts of the body.

How should I care for my tooth after a root canal?

Maintain good oral hygiene, avoid hard foods on the treated tooth until it’s fully restored, and follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions. Regular checkups are also essential.
