Root Canal FAQ
Do root canals hurt? Modern root canal treatment is virtually painless. With today’s advanced anesthesia, most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure and only mild sensitivity afterward.
How long does a root canal take?Most root canals are completed in 60–90 minutes in a single visit. Complex cases may need a second appointment.
What happens if I delay treatment?Delaying care can lead to severe pain, swelling, abscesses, bone loss, or eventual tooth loss. Early treatment is always better.
