With advanced technology and the general growth of the practice of dentistry, root canals are far less painful than root canals of the past. There is very minimal discomfort to the patient. Root Canals have definitely come a long way from the painful ways of its past. Today, root canal therapy is no more painful than getting a tooth filled. In fact, the purpose of a root canal is to relieve pain, not cause it! And save your tooth.
If you are feeling moderate to severe tooth pain and notice swelling of your gums beneath the affected tooth, please call us right away and we’ll schedule an immediate appointment to get you out of pain fast. Delay is dangerous in this case because the infection can continue to cause additional damage that could lead to tooth loss and the need for the more serious and expensive treatment.
