Root canals have been thought of as one of the most dreaded dental procedures. Even when my patients are familiar with the new, advanced dental technology available, there are still misconceptions surrounding the procedure. Most of this aversion to root canals is due to a misunderstanding of the process. Modern technology has made it so that root canals are virtually painless. Digital x-rays, precision instruments, and effective dental anesthetic have made it possible to accurately target infections with a less invasive procedure. This has, in turn, shortened the length of the healing process. Any discomfort that is felt during this period can be relieved with over-the-counter painkillers.
If you are still concerned about your root canal or endodontic procedure, feel free to call my office with any questions you may have.
