FAQ
What is endodontic treatment and when might it be necessary?
Endodontic treatment, commonly known as a root canal, involves removing infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth. It is necessary when the tooth’s pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures or trauma. This procedure helps save the tooth and prevents the need for extraction.
How long does a root canal procedure typically take?
A root canal usually takes about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case. Some cases may require multiple visits, especially if the tooth has more extensive damage or infection.
Are there any special care instructions after a root canal?
After a root canal, it is important to avoid chewing on the treated side until the final restoration is completed. Maintaining good oral hygiene and following up with our dentists for any necessary restorations, such as crowns, is crucial for long-term success.
What are the symptoms that might indicate a need for endodontic treatment?
Symptoms such as severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration of the tooth or swelling and tenderness in the gums may indicate that endodontic treatment is needed.
