Having heard that you might need to undergo a root canal treatment can be nerve-wracking to some. However, there really is no need for people to worry about undergoing this procedure since this is a dental procedure that happens to millions of people around the world.

And besides, dentists are highly trained in performing simple to complex procedures. At Avalon Dental Group, we are committed to providing our patients with top-quality comfort and dental care needs, especially in one of the most feared dental procedures— root canal treatment.

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure often associated with pain, but that is not the truth. In fact, root canal treatment offers a variety of health benefits to people. Knowing more and understanding this procedure may help change how an individual perceives this procedure and encourage them not to be afraid of undergoing the treatment. Here are some frequently asked questions about root canal treatment:

What is a root canal treatment?

A root canal treatment is a procedure that is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent the infection from spreading further or reinfection of the tooth, and save the natural tooth. Root canal treatment involves the process of removing the inflamed or infected pulp and clean or disinfect the inside of the tooth thoroughly. Once the inside of the tooth is cleaned, it will then be filled and sealed to protect it against bacteria.

Do root canal treatments hurt?

Root canal treatments are not as painful as what most people would imagine. The pain felt by the patient is due to the infected tooth, that progress over time if not treated.
Sedation is given to the patient during the procedure to make the patient relax. After the procedure, the tooth may feel sensitive because of the inflammation of the natural tissue. Over the counter, painkillers can control sensitivity and discomfort.

How safe and successful is a root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment is safe and is a highly successful procedure with a success rate of more than 95%. There are plenty of reports that the teeth treated with the Root canal last a lifetime.

Also, since the final step of the procedure is the application of restoration, be it a dental crown or filling, other people would hardly notice that the tooth has been treated and restored.
