Answer 1

You will be absolutely fine.The dentist will remove all the decay in the tooth. He will then remove the nerve tissue from the tooth and clean and shape the canals.It's kind of like removing the wick from a candle.After the tooth is cleaned out he will fill the tooth with a rubber type material called gutta percha.He will place a temporary filling in the tooth untill you can get a permament filling or crown on the tooth.

It's really not any different from getting a filling.Once you get past the novacaine you really will be fine.I work for a endodontist and all we do is root canals.Most patients are pleasantly surprised how easy they are.Take two advil before the novacaine wears off and you really shouldn't need anything more.

All the horror stories you hear about root canals are really not true at all. The people who tell the horror stories are the ones that waited untill they were in major pain and the tooth really blew up on them.

Good luck,I'm sure you will be fine.

root canal treatment tooth hurt normal

Answer 3

People often have horror stories about root canals they had. This is usually b/c the dentist did the root canal while the tooth was still infected and the patient doesn't get very numb if infected. This is why many dentists now prescribe antibiotics before doing a root canal on an infected tooth, you get numb, and no pain.

Answer 4

I was a dental assistant for 12-1/2 years and 95% of the time our patients never had any problems after getting a root canal. Our office only did front teeth which have one canal (nerve). I'd recommend an endodontist who is a dentist who specializes in doing root canals. Your back teeth usually have 3-4 canals in them. An endodontist has specialized equipment, training, and can do the procedure efficiently. Think of your tooth as a lead pencil. The nerve inside is the "lead", the living part of the tooth. When a root canal is done the damaged/dead tissue is cleaned out thoroughly and sealed to help prevent bacteria from entering and causing infection. Obviously now the living part of the tooth is gone and essentially the tooth is "dead." The tooth will become brittle and will need to be crowned to save it. This does, of course, involve expense but it's worth it to preserve the spacing of your teeth (when teeth are extracted, the rest shift around to fill in the gap causing other dental problems) and to save the tooth for chewing. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

It would be more painful to leave the tooth untreated. modern root canal treatment is not painful.

Answer 6

No. I had sevral not too painful. Takes time as they have to file and kill the bad nerves. They they insert little silver sleeves in your root. Some go back 25 years and teeth still in good condition.
Also today, they can give you gas and it will be even mor plainless.
Have it done, you will save your mouth and teeth.

Answer 7

Root canals, from what I understand, are the result of decay within a given tooth that effect the nerve. In my case, I had a cavity that was really deep and even after I had a filling put in it continued to decay almost all the way to the jaw bone.

The explanation that I got from the dentist is that the nerve of my tooth had died and it needed to be removed as well as the decay and infection inside of my tooth.

Basically what he did was go inside my tooth, take all of the decay out, clean the four canals of my tooth, made a mold of my real tooth and then put a temporary cap back in my tooth. After a couple of weeks the permanent cap arrived in his office and he simply took off the temporary and replaced it with the permanent cap.

As far as the operation itself, I was given a local anestetic and I was awake through the whole thing. I felt no pain at all and I even drove home from the dentist's office.

I've had two root canal operations, one without dental insurance and one with it, and it can be very expensive. When I had it done without insurance the whole procedure, including the permanent cap, cost about $1,300. Believe me it was not fun to have to pay that but you need to have this operation done.

If you wait too long the tooth can become infected, like mine did, and it can spread to other parts of your body and cause serious complications. I waited about two and a half years before I finally had my second root canal done.
