Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Endodontist?

An endodontist is a dental specialist who has completed additional years of specialized training beyond dental school. They focus specifically on diagnosing and treating dental pulp problems inside the tooth, primarily performing root canal procedures to save teeth.

When do I need a root canal?

You might need a root canal if the pulp inside your tooth (containing nerves and blood vessels) becomes inflamed or infected. This can be caused by deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, a crack or chip in the tooth, or trauma. Symptoms often include severe pain, sensitivity to hot and cold, swelling, or tenderness.

Is a root canal painful?

With modern techniques and effective local anesthetics, root canal treatment is typically not painful. In fact, it is designed to relieve the pain caused by the infected or inflamed pulp. Many patients report the procedure is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.

How long does a root canal take?

The duration of a root canal procedure varies depending on the complexity of the case and the specific tooth being treated. Generally, a root canal can be completed in one to two appointments, with each appointment typically lasting between 60 to 90 minutes.

Will my tooth need a crown after a root canal?

In most cases, yes. After a root canal, the tooth can become more brittle and susceptible to fracture, especially back teeth that are used for chewing. A dental crown is often recommended to protect the treated tooth, restore its strength, and prevent future complications.
