Do I feel pain during root canal treatment?

During the canal treatment, local anesthesia is applied to your tooth. By this means, you don’t feel any pain during the treatment. In cases where there is an extra painful or infected tooth, our specialist doctors use advanced anesthesia techniques.

How long does root canal treatment take?

Depending on the condition of the tooth, root canal treatment can be completed in one or two sessions. Root canal treatment for a non-infected tooth is usually completed in a single session.

Do I feel pain after the root canal treatment?

As the vascular-nerve package of the tooth is removed during root canal treatment, it is no longer affected by cold and hot. There may be slight pain or tenderness in the first few days after the treatment, and it will decrease and go away after the first 3 days. It should not be forgotten that the tooth needs time to heal, like any other tissue in our body.

What should I do if my pain doesn’t relieve for a long time after the canal treatment?

If the pain still continues in the future, canal filling may be incomplete or inadequate; in this case, the necessary treatment should be performed by consulting the canal specialists.
