One of the most common misconceptions about dentistry is that root canal treatment is painful. The truth is quite the opposite! At Marysville Family Dentistry, we use modern techniques and effective anesthesia to ensure your root canal procedure is as comfortable as possible. Most patients are surprised to find that the treatment itself causes little to no discomfort. The root canal relieves the pain you've been experiencing from the infected tooth.
What Happens During Root Canal Treatment in Marysville?
Root canals have an unfair reputation, largely because people associate them with the toothache pain that brings them to our office. The procedure actually eliminates that pain by removing the infected nerve tissue that causes your discomfort. With today's advanced technology and numbing methods, getting a root canal is comparable to having a routine filling placed.
What to expect during your root canal:
- Local anesthesia ensures the treatment area is completely numb before we begin; you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure.
- Modern techniques and tools make root canals faster and more efficient than ever before.
- Sedation options are available if you feel anxious about the treatment.
- Mild tenderness or sensitivity after the procedure is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
- Most patients return to normal activities the next day, feeling relief from their original toothache.
