No. Modern root canals are performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. Any post-treatment discomfort is usually mild and temporary.
Dentistry has come a long way and offers advanced techniques that are more conservative and work to preserve your natural tooth. One such option is root canal treatment, scientifically called endodontic therapy, commonly abbreviated as RCT. Yet, the phrase ‘root canal’ makes most people uneasy. However, the truth is, it shouldn’t. With root canal treatment in Keighley, the procedure can save your natural tooth and eliminate pain, all while being far more comfortable than you might expect.
The term root canal treatment is uniquely coined to reflect its purpose. It refers to both a specific part of the tooth’s anatomy, the ROOT and a dental procedure aimed at treating issues within that part.
The root canal is the cavity inside the roots of a tooth. Each tooth has roots embedded in the jawbone, containing a pulp chamber filled with nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. The pulp inside the root canal can become infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma.
Without treatment, the infection can spread to surrounding tissues, potentially leading to tooth loss or abscesses. The biggest benefit of root canal treatment is that it removes the infected pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further problems—all while preserving your natural tooth structure.
At Taylored Dental Care, we offer root canal treatment you can trust:
No. Modern root canals are performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. Any post-treatment discomfort is usually mild and temporary.
The procedure typically takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Both single-visit root canals and multi-visit root canals are available.
You should wait until the anaesthesia wears off before eating. Stick to soft foods for the first day or two.
Not all dental pain means you need a root canal treatment for the teeth, but here are some signs that say it’s better to show a dentist:
