Many patients are worried about root canal treatment causing pain or discomfort. This is likely because this treatment is often associated with the pain caused by the infection in your tooth.
We're here to dispel the myth that root canal treatment is painful because it's just not true. A root canal actually alleviates your pain, eliminates tooth infection, and protects your tooth from extraction.
What Happens During Root Canal Treatment?
If you need a root canal, you likely suffer from a painful tooth infection. Dr Yang will immediately relieve your pain at the start of treatment with a local anaesthetic to numb the infected tooth. This also ensures you don't feel anything during your procedure.
Next, she carefully removes the infected tissue from your tooth with flexible, electric hand tools that make the procedure smooth, comfortable, and efficient. When she's sure the tooth is free from infection, she will seal it with a temporary dental filling and allow it time to heal fully.
Once it's healed, you'll return to Roseville Dental and Implants for a permanent crown or filling to rebuild and strengthen your tooth, ensuring you have full chewing function again.
