FAQ

What are the alternatives to a root canal?

The only way to save a natural tooth with damaged, inflamed, or infected dental pulp is to remove the pulp via a root canal; neither cleanings nor fillings will address the problem. As such, the only alternative to a root canal would be tooth extraction, which is the removal of the entire tooth. To maintain proper oral function—including chewing, speaking, and dental alignment—the tooth would need to be replaced with an implant, bridge, or partial denture. Tooth extractions are a permanent loss of a natural tooth, and no restorative options other than dental implants will feel or function like having a natural tooth. Root canals allow dentists to save teeth, while extractions are a last resort for most dentists and endodontists.

How painful is a root canal?

Root canals are performed under local anesthesia and generally no more painful than other routine dental procedures like wisdom teeth removal or fillings. However, as with other dental procedures, there may be some numbness, soreness, or mild discomfort for 24-48 hours after the root canal treatment as a result of tissue inflammation. For most patients, the pain of the infected tooth is significantly greater than any pain or discomfort felt post-procedure.

What is a root canal treatment?

A root canal, also called endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure that removes the infected or inflamed pulp of a tooth to save the tooth, relieve pain, and prevent reinfection. During the procedure, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, then filled with a paste or other synthetic material like gutta-percha and sealed with a crown or filling.
