Is a root canal painful?

Root canals have a bad reputation; many associate root canals with a lengthy, painful experience, but the treatment itself actually eliminates the infection inside your tooth. So, instead of causing pain, root canal therapy often saves your tooth from extraction.

Root Canal Procedure in East Hills

No, a root canal is not a painful procedure. In fact, once we numb your mouth, you shouldn’t feel any more discomfort.

Here are the steps to this common dental treatment:

1. First, we’ll numb the area with a local anaesthetic. If you’re feeling anxious, we offer nitrous oxide to keep you calm.
2. We’ll make a small hole in your tooth and remove the infected tissue.
3. Then, we’ll clean and shape the area before filling it with a rubbery material.
4. Next, we’ll seal your tooth and schedule your next appointment.

In most cases, a dental crown will cover and protect your tooth.
