Delaying treatment can lead to worsening infection, severe pain, and even tooth loss. It’s important to address the symptoms promptly to protect your oral health.
In many cases, a root canal can save a cracked tooth if the crack does not extend below the gum line. Your dentist will assess the tooth to determine the best course of action.
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Schedule routine dental checkups to ensure the treated tooth and surrounding teeth remain healthy.
Root canal treatment is often no more painful than getting a filling. With modern techniques and local anesthesia, most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Some soreness afterward is normal, but it typically subsides within a few days.
The duration of a root canal treatment depends on the complexity of the case, but most procedures can be completed in one to two hours. In some cases, multiple visits may be necessary, especially if a crown is required.
