Root canal treatments are something thousands of people get every single day all over the world. Although they have a somewhat sinister reputation, they’re really nothing to worry about! Root canal treatment can help repair your natural tooth and prolong its life. The benefits are numerous as you get to keep your natural smile, bite and chew normally, and protect the surrounding teeth from decay. At WestLake Dental Care, we’re experienced in providing patients with this treatment.

WestLake Dental Care Has Your Dental Health in Mind
Endodontics is the field of dentistry concerned with root canal treatments. Not all dentists have the training to perform the same procedures as endodontists. Here at WestLake Dental Care, rest assured that we have a team of experts to give you all the right options so you can choose your treatment.
Who Needs Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is for people who have cavities, cracked teeth, or problems with a previously installed filling. The most common complaint from people with root canal problems is that they are more sensitive to cold and hot drinks and foods. Increased temperature sensitivity isn’t the only symptom people complain of. Others include swollen gums that may or may not be painful. Darker gums are also a sign of decay that we occasionally encounter.
Does Root Canal Treatment Hurt?
The root canal therapy procedure itself isn’t painful. Local anesthesia is injected into the area that will receive root canal treatment. You’ll be numb for as long as the procedure lasts. The only thing you might feel is slight pressure. After the procedure, however, you might experience some discomfort for a couple of days. It should subside gradually. The discomfort shouldn’t be severe enough to keep you from going back to work or school. It’s expected that you can resume your normal activities the following day.
