Before we begin your root canal, we’ll completely numb the area around your tooth so the most you’ll feel is slight pressure while we work. Then, we’ll make a small hole in the top of your tooth that acts as an entry point. Through this opening, Dr. Kherani will remove any damaged or infected pulp he finds inside your tooth’s canals. Once your tooth is properly cleaned out and disinfected, we’ll seal it with a tooth-colored filling and a dental crown for additional protection.
While every person is different, there are a handful of common signs that often point to the need for root canal therapy, including:
Typically, our patients express that they experience almost-instant toothache relief after their root canal is complete. However, it’s not uncommon to have mild to moderate tooth sensitivity for a few days following the procedure. If necessary, we may prescribe an anti-inflammatory medication or recommend an over-the-counter alternative.
