What to Expect With a Root Canal

Root canal therapy can generally be completed in an hour or less. But don’t worry, your dentist will make sure you are comfortable and relaxed before starting the procedure. If you feel anxious, you can request sedation services in addition to the local anesthetic to numb your tooth. You may feel pressure during the procedure, but you should not experience any pain. If at any point, you start to feel uncomfortable, let your dentist know right away. Your treatment should be a painless experience. Here’s what you can expect during your root canal:
