Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canals
Do root canals hurt?
No, root canals are designed to relieve pain, not cause it. At Westlake Family Dentistry, we use modern techniques and local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. We also offer sedation options if you feel anxious. Most patients report feeling much better once the infection is removed and the pain is relieved.
How long does a root canal take?
The length of the procedure depends on the severity of the infection and the tooth being treated, but most root canals are completed in one visit. On average, the treatment takes about 60 to 90 minutes. We use advanced technology to make the process as quick and efficient as possible.
What should I expect after a root canal?
It's normal to experience mild soreness for a few days after the procedure. Over-the-counter pain relievers are usually enough to manage any discomfort. You should avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the permanent restoration is in place. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
