Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Call us – we’re here to help!
What exactly is a root canal?
A root canal (endodontic treatment) involves removing the “pulp”—the soft center of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels—when it becomes inflamed or infected. The dentist cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, then fills and seals it with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha.
Does a root canal hurt?
Contrary to popular belief, a root canal is intended to relieve pain, not cause it. With modern anesthetics and techniques, most patients report that the procedure feels similar to getting a routine filling. The area is completely numbed before the work begins. You may feel some sensitivity or tenderness in the days following the procedure, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
How do I know if I need one?
While only a dentist can confirm the need for a root canal via an X-ray, common symptoms include:
- Persistent pain: Especially deep pain when chewing or applying pressure.
- Temperature sensitivity: Lingering pain after eating hot or cold foods.
- Swollen gums: Tenderness or a small pimple-like bump (abscess) on the gums.
- Discoloration: The tooth may look darker or grayish.
How long does the procedure take?
A root canal typically takes one to two appointments, depending on the condition of the tooth and the complexity of the root canal system. Each session generally lasts between 30 to 90 minutes.
What is the recovery like?
Most people can return to work or school the same day or the following day. For the first few days:
- Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it is fully restored with a permanent filling or crown.
- Stick to soft foods.
- Maintain your usual brushing and flossing routine, being gentle around the treated area.
Is a crown necessary after a root canal?
In most cases, yes. After the pulp is removed, the tooth becomes more brittle over time because it no longer has a blood supply. A crown protects the tooth from fracturing and restores its full functionality. For front teeth, a filling might suffice, but back teeth (molars) almost always require a crown due to the pressure of chewing.
Can a tooth need a root canal again?
While root canals have a very high success rate (over 95%), a tooth can occasionally become re-infected due to new decay, a cracked filling, or complicated root anatomy that wasn’t fully reached the first time. If this happens, a “root canal retreatment” may be necessary to save the tooth again.
How much does a root canal cost in Sherwood Park?
The cost of root canal treatment depends on the tooth being treated and the complexity of the procedure. At Park Mall Dental Centre, we provide detailed treatment plans and help patients understand insurance coverage and payment options.
Can I get emergency root canal treatment?
Yes. If you are experiencing severe tooth pain, infection, or swelling, our dental team may be able to provide emergency root canal treatment to relieve discomfort and protect your tooth.
How long does it take to recover after a root canal?
Most patients recover within a few days after root canal treatment. Mild sensitivity is normal, but discomfort usually improves quickly with proper aftercare.
Do you accept insurance for root canal treatment?
Yes. We work with many insurance providers and help patients understand their benefits and coverage for root canal treatment whenever possible.
