When patients hear the phrase “Root canal treatment,” they often cower in fear. While root canals have been known to be feared due to pain for all these years, the procedure itself is not actually painful at all! When root canal treatment, or “endodontic therapy,” is performed by experienced dental providers “near me” such as Drs. Don R. Cook and David G. Bingham of Northwest Dental Center in Boise, Idaho, the procedure is painless!
Root canal therapy is often done to avoid the extraction of an adult tooth. Contrary to popular belief, treating a tooth with root canal therapy is not actually painful. Instead, the use of sedation and anesthesia ensures patients are comfortable from start to finish as their tooth is treated. Patients love that they can relieve discomfort and issues surrounding their need for root canal therapy while maintaining their natural teeth.
Aftercare following root canal therapy will reduce the risk of potential problems and side effects. Our dentists provide you with specific instructions to follow during the healing process, but some general tips include:
Root canal treatment is not required in all situations.
