A root canal is a procedure designed to save a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged. The pulp inside the tooth, which contains nerves and blood vessels, can become inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma. Left untreated, this infection can spread and cause pain, abscesses, or even the loss of the tooth. A root canal removes the infected pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further infection.
There are several signs that may indicate you need a root canal, including:
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to contact us right away. Dr. Brett Levin or one of our other expert doctors will assess your condition and determine if a root canal is needed to save your tooth.
Root canals have a reputation for being painful, but the procedure itself is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, and most patients experience little to no pain during the treatment.
A root canal typically takes about 90 minutes, though the time may vary depending on the complexity of the case. In some instances, the procedure may be completed over two appointments.
Most patients can return to normal activities the day after the procedure. You may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity for a few days, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
In most cases, a crown is recommended after a root canal to restore the tooth’s strength and protect it from future damage. Dr. Brett Levin or Dr. Christy Norton will discuss your restoration options during your consultation.
The cost of a root canal can vary depending on the complexity of the case and whether a crown is needed. During your consultation, we’ll provide an estimate and discuss financing options to ensure you get the care you need within your budget.
Root canals have a high success rate, but in rare cases, an infection can return. If this happens, Dr. Brett Levin or Dr. Christy Norton will discuss further treatment options, such as root canal retreatment or endodontic surgery.
