Common questions
Does a root canal hurt?
The procedure itself is done under profound local anesthesia, so most patients feel pressure, not pain. The toothache you came in with is what hurts; the root canal is what makes it stop.
How do I know if I need one?
Lingering sensitivity to heat, throbbing pain, pain when biting, or a bump on the gums are common signs. An exam and X-ray give a definitive answer.
What happens if I wait?
An infected tooth doesn't heal on its own. The infection can spread to the surrounding bone and turn a saveable tooth into an extraction. Earlier is always simpler.
