Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?

Root canal treatment involves removing the infected tissues and nerves inside the tooth, cleaning it, and filling the inside of the tooth. While this treatment may seem intimidating to most people, modern dentistry techniques have made it a painless procedure.

What Does a Root Canal Feel Like?

During the procedure, local anesthesia is applied to numb the tooth and surrounding area. This ensures that the patient does not feel any pain during the process. However, slight discomfort may occur for a few days after the treatment, which can usually be managed with simple painkillers.

When is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?

• Deep cavities

• Trauma to the tooth

• Prolonged tooth sensitivity and pain
