A root canal procedure is a common dental treatment performed by us to save a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected. It is a multi-step process that involves removing the infected pulp from within the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and filling them with a special material to seal them off. After the root canal procedure is complete, the tooth may feel sensitive for a few days. Over-the-counter pain medications can help manage any discomfort. It is important to follow the dentist’s instructions for oral care and attend any necessary follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and to discuss the next steps for restoring the tooth.
