Questions
Root canal treatment FAQs
Does a root canal hurt?
The tooth is numbed first. Most people feel pressure rather than pain. Mild soreness for a day or two afterwards is common.
How many visits will I need?
Often one or two, depending on the infection. The dentist will tell you after the X-ray.
Do I need a crown afterwards?
Back teeth often need a crown so they do not crack. The dentist will advise you for your tooth.
What if I do not treat it?
An infection inside a tooth does not heal on its own. It can spread and the tooth may need to be removed.
Can I eat after treatment?
Wait until the numbness wears off, then eat soft food on the other side until the final restoration is done.
