Common questions
Is getting a root canal painful?
No, root canals are designed to relieve pain, not cause it. With modern approaches and gentle techniques, the procedure is comfortable. You may feel slight soreness afterward, but it’s temporary and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Can a root canal save my tooth?
Yes, when properly cared for, a tooth that’s been treated with a root canal can last for years, if not a lifetime. Protecting it with a crown and maintaining good oral hygiene are key to its longevity. Regular checkups will help ensure the tooth remains healthy and functional.
Will I need a crown after my root canal treatment?
In many cases, a crown is recommended after a root canal to provide extra protection and restore the tooth’s strength. The procedure removes infected tissue, which can leave the tooth more fragile. A custom crown helps prevent fractures and ensures the tooth can handle daily functions like chewing. Your dentist will assess your specific case and let you know if a crown is necessary to support long-term success.
