FAQs ON ENDODONTICS (ROOT CANAL)
What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection inside the tooth. The infected pulp is removed, the tooth is cleaned and sealed, helping preserve the natural tooth.
Is a root canal painful?
Modern root canal treatment is usually no more uncomfortable than having a dental filling. Local anaesthetic is used to ensure the procedure is comfortable for patients.
Why might I need a root canal?
Root canal treatment may be required when the inner pulp of the tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks or trauma.
How long does root canal treatment take?
The procedure may be completed in one or more appointments depending on the condition of the tooth and the complexity of the treatment.
Can a tooth survive after root canal treatment?
Yes. A tooth can continue functioning normally after root canal treatment, especially when restored with a crown to strengthen and protect it.
