Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a procedure to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). It involves removing the damaged area, cleaning and disinfecting it, and then filling and sealing it.
Is the Procedure Painful?
Thanks to modern techniques and anesthesia, the procedure is typically no more uncomfortable than having a filling done.
How Long Does the Treatment Take?
The treatment usually requires one or two visits, depending on the condition of the tooth. Each session may last between 30 minutes to an hour.
What are the Benefits of Root Canal Treatment?
The main benefit is saving a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed. The treatment also alleviates pain and stops the spread of infection.
