Root Canal Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
01 When is root canal treatment needed?
Root canal treatment may be needed in cases such as deep decay, a cracked or fractured tooth, trauma, or inflammation and infection of the pulp tissue inside the tooth. The goal is to clean the infected tissue and preserve the natural tooth in the mouth as far as possible.
02 Is pain after root canal treatment normal?
Mild pain, sensitivity or discomfort when chewing that lasts a few days may occur after root canal treatment. If the complaints gradually increase, last a long time or swelling develops, the dentist should re-evaluate the tooth.
03 How long does a root canal-treated tooth last?
With a suitable restoration and regular oral care, a root canal-treated tooth can be used for many years. The amount of healthy tissue remaining, the filling or crown placed on it, chewing forces and oral hygiene can affect how long it lasts.
