Will root canal treatment hurt despite local anaesthetic?

Root canal treatment is done under local anaesthetic, so sharp pain should be controlled although pressure is possible.

What happens to the pulp during root canal treatment?

The procedure treats inflamed or infected pulp inside a tooth. The dentist opens the tooth, removes pulp, cleans and shapes canals, fills them, then seals the tooth.

How can you protect the tooth after treatment?

Take recommended pain relief, chew elsewhere, and protect a tooth with a temporary filling until its final restoration is placed.

Which symptoms mean you should contact the clinic?

Contact the clinic for severe pain, swelling, fever, or a bite that feels high. Breathing or swallowing difficulty needs urgent care.

What should you ask about canals and final restoration?

Ask how many canals are involved, whether infection is present, and when the permanent filling or crown should be placed.
