Frequently Asked Questions
Is root canal treatment painful?
Modern root canal treatment is virtually painless. With advanced anesthesia and techniques, the procedure is similar to getting a filling. Most patients report feeling immediate relief from the pain that brought them in.
How long does a root canal take?
A root canal typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on the tooth's complexity. Front teeth are usually quicker, while molars with multiple canals may take longer. Some cases may require two visits.
What happens if I don't get a root canal?
Untreated infection will continue to spread, causing increased pain, abscess formation, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss. The infection can also spread to other parts of your body, becoming a serious health concern.
How long does a root canal treated tooth last?
With proper care and a protective crown, a root canal treated tooth can last a lifetime. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene are essential for long-term success.
Will I need a crown after root canal?
In most cases, yes. A crown protects the treated tooth from fracture and restores its full function. Without a crown, the tooth becomes brittle and prone to breaking.
