FAQ
With modern anaesthesia techniques, root canal treatment is generally painless. You may experience some mild discomfort afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
The duration of a root canal treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case. However, most procedures can be completed in one or two appointments.
In most cases, a dental crown is recommended to protect the weakened tooth and restore its strength and appearance.
It is advisable to avoid chewing on the treated tooth for a few days after the procedure. You can eat soft foods and gradually return to your normal diet as the tooth heals.
With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential to maintain its health.
