Common questions
Endodontics FAQs
These general answers can help you prepare. Your doctor will provide guidance specific to your health and treatment plan.
What signs can indicate I need a root canal?
Persistent pain, lingering temperature sensitivity, swollen gums, or tooth darkening can be signs that need prompt evaluation.
How long does a root canal take?
Many procedures take one or two visits of about 60–90 minutes each. Complex cases can take longer.
Will I feel pain during or after treatment?
Local anesthesia helps keep treatment comfortable. Temporary soreness afterward is common and usually manageable with the care instructions provided.
Is extraction better than a root canal?
When a tooth can be predictably restored, preserving it is often preferred. The right choice depends on the condition of the tooth and your overall needs.
What happens after the root canal?
A permanent crown is commonly placed to protect the treated tooth. Continued brushing, flossing, and examinations remain important.
