Sensitivity should be expected the following weeks after a root canal, but should lessen and subside with time. If severe pain and sensitivity are still noted after a root canal procedure this can mean there is still infection present, and it is best to schedule an appointment with your root canal dentist to determine the next step in treating the tooth.

Root canals are the last resort when trying to save a tooth. A root canal procedure is an attempt to remove an infection from the living portion of a tooth and seal the tooth to prevent it from getting re-infected. It is really important for your dentist to diagnose if the tooth is a good candidate for a root canal, or if the best option is to remove the tooth to fully clear any infection.

Anytime treatment is done to a tooth it should always be expected to experience sensitivity. This sensitivity should start to lessen over the next few weeks, but can even take a few months to fully heal. Taking an over the counter pain reliever should be adequate in helping relieve sensitivity.

Most often patients do not need to be put to sleep for a root canal procedure. The use of a local anesthetic is adequate in pain control during a root canal. Our root canal dentists do offer sedation dentistry for root canal procedures.

The root canal procedure usually takes 1 appointment with one of our root canal dentists and may last from 30 to 120 min.

The cost of having a tooth removed depends on if the tooth needs to be surgically removed or if the patient can stay awake while having the tooth removed. Insurance is also a factor that can have an effect on the cost of having a tooth removed.
