Common Questions
Will a root canal hurt?
No. Endodontic procedures are performed under local anesthesia. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the experience is.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common signs include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, tooth discoloration, and swelling. However, some infected teeth have no symptoms at all — which is why regular exams are important.
What happens after a root canal?
A crown is almost always recommended to protect the treated tooth from fracture. We coordinate crown placement seamlessly after treatment.
