Root Canal Therapy faq

  • What is root canal therapy?

    Root canal therapy is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation within the pulp of a tooth. It involves cleaning out the inside of the tooth, sealing it, and preserving its structure.

  • Why would I need a root canal?

    You may need root canal therapy if the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, a crack, trauma, or repeated dental procedures. Signs can include tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling near the affected area

  • Is a root canal painful?

    Root canal procedures are designed to relieve pain, not cause it. With modern techniques and anesthesia, most patients report that the experience feels similar to getting a regular filling.

  • What are the symptoms of an infected tooth?

    Common signs include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, tenderness, or discoloration of the tooth. However, some cases show no symptoms and are only detected during a dental exam.

  • What happens after a root canal?

    After treatment, the tooth is usually restored with a filling or crown to protect and strengthen it. Your dental team will provide post-treatment instructions and monitor healing during follow-up visits.

  • Will I need to take time off after a root canal?

    Many patients return to normal activities the same or the next day. Mild discomfort is possible for a short period, but it is generally manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

  • Can a tooth treated with a root canal last a long time?

    Yes. With proper care, a tooth that has received root canal therapy can function like any other tooth for many years.

  • How do I know if I need a root canal?

    The best way to know is through a professional dental exam. If you're experiencing tooth pain or other concerning symptoms, the team at Bellissimo in Chandler, AZ, can evaluate your condition and recommend the appropriate care.
