A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). It involves removing the damaged or infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the area, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection.
Many people believe that root canals are extremely painful, but with modern anesthetics and techniques, most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. The discomfort experienced after the procedure can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
A root canal is necessary when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or damaged due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the same tooth, large fillings, a crack or chip in the tooth, or trauma to the face.
The length of the procedure depends on the condition of your tooth and your particular circumstances. Generally, a root canal can be completed in one to two visits, lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours.
Root canal treatment is a safe and effective procedure with a high success rate. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks involved, including the possibility of infection, which could necessitate further treatment or, in rare cases, extraction.
After a root canal, your tooth may feel sensitive for a few days due to natural tissue inflammation, especially if there was pain or infection before the procedure. This sensitivity or discomfort can usually be controlled with pain medications.
It is important to follow good oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and regular checkups. Avoid chewing on hard foods with the treated tooth until it has been fully restored by a dentist to minimize the risk of fracture.
After a root canal, the tooth is more brittle and less hydrated, which makes it more susceptible to fracture. Dentists typically recommend placing a crown on a root canal-treated tooth to protect and preserve it.
The cost of a root canal varies depending on the complexity of the problem and which tooth is affected. Molars are more difficult to treat; the fee is usually more. Most dental insurance policies provide some coverage for root canal treatment.
