ROOT CANAL TREATMENT RECOVER TIME

Immediately

Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a procedure used to restore and preserve a tooth that has been severely damaged by decay or infection.

This treatment becomes necessary when the tooth’s pulp—made up of nerves and blood vessels—gets infected or injured. During the procedure, the pulp is carefully removed, and the inner part of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and sealed to prevent further issues.

When to Consider Root Canal Treatment

Persistent, throbbing tooth pain that feels like a pulsing sensation
Intense discomfort that disrupts your sleep
Pain triggered by chewing, biting, or even light pressure on the tooth
Sensitivity that lingers after consuming hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks

What Are the Benefits of Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal therapy helps preserve teeth that might otherwise need to be removed. Although a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can become more fragile than a healthy one, it can be strengthened and protected with a custom-designed crown. Reach out to us to schedule a consultation and explore your options.

What to Expect During the Procedure

First Visit

At your initial visit, your dentist will take dental X-rays to assess the level of damage. The root canal will then be cleaned and shaped to prepare it for treatment.

Second / Third Visit

During the next appointment, the dentist will fill and seal the cleaned canal. An impression of your tooth may also be taken at this stage to prepare for a crown. These visits are typically scheduled 2 to 4 weeks apart.

Third / Fourth Visit

The final visit involves fitting your custom crown. Your dentist will also schedule a follow-up to ensure the crown is functioning properly and your tooth has healed well.

How Can I Care for My Teeth After Root Canal Treatment?

Continue with your regular oral hygiene routine—brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist every six months for check-ups. While it’s rare, there is a slight chance the treated tooth may become reinfected. If you notice any issues, simply return to your dentist for further evaluation.

Will the Procedure Be Painful?

You may feel some mild sensitivity or discomfort during the treatment. However, your dentist will typically use local anesthesia to help ensure you’re as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure.
