Are Root Canals Painful?

The level of anxiety associated with root canal therapy is not a myth. The most common source of concern is a lack of understanding of the process of what is being completed. While society may believe that root canal therapy is painful, we are here to tell you that performed correctly, it does not have to be.

Our Tampa dentist will take several steps to ensure that every root canal case is as comfortable as possible. In addition to ensuring a calm and relaxing environment, we use cutting-edge technology and numbing medications to ensure that you don't feel a thing.

The Root Canal Process

The majority of root canal treatments can be completed in a single appointment, followed by a second visit to place a crown over that tooth. After your tooth is numbed, we'll gain access to the nerve chamber to remove the infected blood vessels and nerves inside of it. This step is what relieves any pain or inflammation, as the infected tissues inside of it are completely removed. After we clean out the nerve chamber, our Tampa dentist fills the canals to seal them off and prevent reinfection.

After your endodontic treatment is finished, we recommend that you have a crown placed over your tooth to prevent premature wear or breakage. To accommodate a proper bite, we slightly reduce the height of your tooth to make room for the crown on top of it.
