Q: What is root canal treatment?
A: Root canal treatment is a handy way of restoring a tooth when the inner structures (like the nerve and pulp) have been decayed, inflamed and infected. The treatment will involve your dentist numbing the tooth, removing the affected portions of the tooth, filling the tooth with gutta-percha, and supporting the tooth with a dental filling or dental crown.
Q: Is root canal treatment painful?
A: Root canal treatment isn’t any more uncomfortable than a traditional dental filling treatment.
Q: How long does root canal treatment take?
A: Usually, root canal treatment takes 1-2 hours, but it can take longer if the tooth is severely damaged.
