What Is A Root Canal?
Root canals are dental procedures used to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp. This treatment involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning and disinfecting the tooth’s interior, and sealing it to prevent further infection. Root canals help save the natural tooth, alleviate pain, and restore dental health, providing a long-term solution to tooth decay or trauma.
Are Root Canals Right for You?
If you are:
- Severe tooth pain or sensitivity
- Swollen or tender gums
- Prolonged toothache after eating
- Darkening of a tooth
- Persistent pimple on gums
- Deep decay or injury
Then the answer is yes.
How A Root Canal Will Help You
Root canals effectively alleviate severe tooth pain and sensitivity by removing infected or damaged tissue. This procedure helps preserve your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction. By treating deep decay or injury, root canals restore your tooth’s health and functionality, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably. Additionally, they prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and gums, ensuring long-term oral health and preventing future dental complications.

What to Expect During Recovery
During recovery from a root canal procedure at Choice Dental, you can expect a relatively smooth process. Immediately after the treatment, you may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity, which can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. It’s normal to have a slight feeling of tenderness around the treated tooth for a few days.
We recommend avoiding chewing on the treated tooth until it has fully healed to prevent any damage. Maintaining good oral hygiene, including gentle brushing and flossing, is crucial during this time to aid in healing and prevent further infection. If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms during your recovery, our team at Choice Dental is always available to provide guidance and support.
Your Questions Answered
No, modern root canal treatments are typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. Many patients report feeling minimal discomfort during and after the treatment.
The duration of a root canal procedure depends on the tooth’s complexity and the extent of infection. On average, it may take one to two visits of about 90 minutes each to complete the treatment.
- In most cases, a tooth that has undergone a root canal will require a crown to protect and strengthen it. A crown helps restore the tooth’s function and appearance, ensuring long-term durability.
Alternatives to root canal treatment include tooth extraction followed by tooth replacement options such as dental implants or bridges. However, preserving your natural tooth through a root canal is often the preferred choice for maintaining oral health and functionality.
