Common questions
Is a root canal painful?
Local anesthesia is used to keep the tooth comfortable during treatment. Many patients seek care because the infected tooth is already painful.
Will I need a crown after a root canal?
Many back teeth need a crown after root canal treatment to protect the remaining tooth structure.
Can antibiotics fix a tooth infection?
Antibiotics may help control spread, but they usually do not remove the source of infection inside the tooth. Dental treatment is often needed.
