Fear of the dentist is very common. Its most often related to painful memories of dental care, and even the thought of sitting down in a dental chair prevents them from wanting to visit a dentist. We understand the fear component and want to do everything we can to help you through this. We take the fear out with painless injections, a very gentle technique, or even if desired it. The needles used are superfine and the method of injections are barely felt. Patients generally don’t even realize till the injecting is over.

Pain is the single symptom that the patient experiences . However pain may be absent when the disease process in your tooth pulp goes into a chronic stage Your endodontist will read the high resolution xray image that is taken in the clinic and explain when and why a root canal may be needed

The reason for needing a root canal is to remove the infection before it gets worse. Nevertheless, if the infection has reached your pulp or root canals, then root canal therapy must be performed to save the tooth.

Most root canal appointments take at least 1-2 appointments to complete, however in some rare cases more appointments may be required. The amount of appointments required for your individual case will depend on how advanced the infection is and how much swelling and inflammation it has caused. You can expect each treatment appointment to last about 1-2 hours.

Root canal treated teeth have to be immediately crowned to prevent fracture and subsequent extraction

After root canal treatment , you will be guided about the various options with advantages to restore and protect your treated tooth. Until the affected tooth is properly restored, you will want to avoid chewing on that side to prevent the tooth from fracturing. It is important to note, that failure to continue your follow up care after a root canal ,can cause the root canal to fail and your tooth to be lost.
