You wake up one morning, and that little toothache you’ve been ignoring is now a searing pain you can feel radiating throughout your entire head. You can’t go through your day like this, so like many, you go to the internet searching for answers. You see that one of the best ways to relieve acute dental pain is to undergo a root canal, and immediately, your heart sinks.

About Root Canals

Because a tooth consists of more than one layer (protective enamel, dentin, and an inner pulp that holds the tooth’s nerve), more than a standard filling could be a necessity at times, when the pulp is removed, and the tooth is then filled. When you need a root canal, it can cause significant pain and active infections. A root canal could save your tooth from extraction. We typically complete root canal therapy in one or two appointments. The procedure is typically painless, due to analgesics, and recovery is swift as well, often requiring no more than over-the-counter pain medication for a short amount of time, if at all.

Do I Need a Crown After a Root Canal?

After your root canal, we strongly recommend the placement of a custom-made dental crown, which covers your tooth and provides stability. Many who neglect to get a crown eventually crack their treated tooth. A crown can further preserve that tooth and your efforts to save it. After your root canal, we will create a high-quality crown that matches your other teeth beautifully.
