The root canal procedure is not painful since we will completely anesthetize the area before starting treatment. Once we remove the infected tissue, in fact, your pain will be greatly diminished. The area might be tender for a few days after the root canal, but overall, you will feel much better.
None of these signs should be ignored, so it’s crucial that you contact a quality dental clinic in order to save your tooth and to prevent the infection from spreading to your healthy teeth.
We generally recommend that you get a dental crown after a root canal to strengthen the remaining tooth structure. Removing the living tissue from the tooth root results in a tooth that is brittle and prone to breakage. A dental crown will protect your tooth and ensure you can chew on it again comfortably.

Dental pain is never normal, and if you have a severe toothache, you may have an infection deep within the tooth root. We welcome your call to our dental surgery to book an appointment for an examination so we can determine whether or not you need a root canal.
