Get answers to common questions about Root Canal Treatment.

Root canal treatment involves removing infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth to relieve pain and save the tooth.

With modern anesthesia and techniques, root canal treatment is usually painless and can be performed under local anesthesia.

Root canal treatment typically takes between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the tooth.

Post-treatment, you may experience some discomfort, but it can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

The success rate for root canal treatments is around 85-95%, allowing many to keep their natural teeth for years.

Symptoms like severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, and swelling around the gums can indicate the need for a root canal.
