FAQs
A root canal is a dental procedure performed by an Endodontist that can save or repair your natural teeth that have been damaged by infection or decay.
You may need root canal therapy if you are experiencing pain, sensitivity to heat or cold, tenderness to touch and chewing, discoloration, swelling, or tenderness in your lymph nodes. You also may notice a pimple-like presence on your gum. Even if you do not experience any of these symptoms, you may still need root canal therapy to prevent further damage and to save your tooth.
It is normal to experience some mild soreness or discomfort following an endodontic procedure. If these symptoms occur, they usually resolve in a day or two and can typically be managed with a combination of Advil and Tylenol (should your health history permit).
Root canals have a bad rap! Thanks to the latest technologies and anesthetics, root canals are typically about as uncomfortable as having a cavity filled.
Following a root canal, most people return to their normal daily routine. It is common to experience mild post-operative symptoms, including numbness around the tooth for 1-2 hours following endodontic treatment. You should call your dentist or endodontist if you have severe pain or pressure that lasts more than a couple of days.
Many dental insurances provide coverage for root canals. Some providers offer dental savings plans that you can purchase immediately prior to your procedure. All dental coverage policies are different. You should contact your insurance provider to determine whether and how much is covered before your schedule a root canal.
Endodontists are special kind of dentists with at least two or three additional years of advanced specialty education in diagnosis and root canal treatment. Endodontists perform root canals every day and specialize in complicated cases such as teeth with narrow or blocked canals. In addition, Endodontists often use advanced technology, such as surgical operating microscopes, ultrasonics and digital imaging.
