Thanks to modern anaesthetics and technology, root canal treatment feels no more uncomfortable than getting a standard dental filling. At Dental In Focus Pimpama, we numb the tooth fully with local anaesthetic, then offer nitrous oxide for anyone who feels extra nervous, including children and teens.
Patients report feeling light pressure as we clean the canals, but no sharp pain. Most patients are surprised by how straightforward the visit is and can drive home or return to work once the numbness fades.
After treatment you may notice mild tenderness for a day or two, similar to a bruised muscle. Over-the-counter pain relief and a soft-food diet—think yoghurt, scrambled eggs and pasta—usually keep you comfortable. Any discomfort should disappear within a week; if it lingers, please phone us for a quick review.
Long-Lasting Relief
A properly restored root-treated tooth can last decades. The key is to crown the tooth soon after therapy because the enamel can become brittle once the nerve is removed. Good brushing, daily flossing and six-monthly check-ups help your crown stay strong and your gums healthy. Follow these steps, and your root canal investment should serve you faithfully for many years to come.
