A root canal removes infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth to eliminate pain and save the natural tooth.
No. Thanks to modern techniques and local anesthesia, a root canal is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Most patients actually feel relief after the procedure, as the source of pain—the infected pulp—is removed.
A root canal is often necessary when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected due to decay, trauma, or a crack. Common warning signs include:
A root canal usually takes between 60 and 120 minutes. Some cases can be completed in one visit, while others may require two or three appointments, depending on the complexity of the tooth.
After treatment, some mild sensitivity or soreness is normal and should subside in a few days. Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it is fully restored. Your dentist will likely recommend a crown or filling to protect the tooth and restore its full function.
With proper care—including regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups—a tooth that has had a root canal can last for many years. A durable restoration, such as a crown, is key to long-term success.
Antibiotics may temporarily reduce infection, but they won’t eliminate the need for a root canal if the pulp is damaged.
