Common 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?
Although many people believe that root canal therapy is painful, it is no more uncomfortable than getting a tooth filled. We’ll use a local anesthetic to make sure the tooth is numb before we begin your procedure. That way you can relax and feel confident that you’re not going to feel any discomfort.
What does a root canal do?
Root canal treatment (often shortened to just “root canal”) 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.
