Question 1

What is root canal treatment (RCT)?

Accepted Answer

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, cleans the canal, and seals it to relieve pain and save the natural tooth from extraction.

Question 2

Is root canal treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, so patients feel little to no pain. Mild soreness for a day or two afterward is normal and manageable with prescribed medication.

Question 3

What should I do before my RCT appointment?

Accepted Answer

Eat a light meal beforehand since the treated side may feel numb for a few hours, inform your dentist of any medications or allergies, and avoid alcohol or smoking on the day of your visit.

Question 4

What are the don’ts after a root canal procedure?

Accepted Answer

Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it’s permanently restored, skip hard, sticky, or extremely hot/cold foods for a few days, and don’t skip your follow-up visit for the permanent crown or filling.

Question 5

How many visits does root canal treatment take?

Accepted Answer

Most root canal cases at True Dental Care are completed in 1 to 2 visits, depending on the tooth’s condition and whether a crown placement is needed afterward.
