Are root canal fillings painful?
No. However, teeth that are very painful often require root canal treatment to stop the pain and maintain the tooth in your mouth. The dentists at Jorgensen Mutzelburg Dental take all precautions to ensure your experience is comfortable. In fact, once the infected tooth has been cleaned, root canal fillings can often be performed pain free without anaesthetic. Deep decay, cracks, or excessive trauma which damages the nerve in the centre of the tooth, causes the tooth to become infected or inflammed if left untreated. Your body’s immune system tries to fight the infection, and the build-up of fluid in the area can lead to intense pain in the jaw and around the tooth. In these circumstances, root canal therapy is the only way to maintain a healthy, pain-free tooth. Of course, regular attendance at your dentist will ensure you have the least chance of ever enduring toothache due to severe decay and an infected root canal system.
