Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
Does a Root Canal Hurt?
One of the most common questions about root canal treatment is: "Does a root canal hurt?" Many people have the misconception that root canals are extremely painful, but with modern anesthesia, they are usually no more uncomfortable than getting a cavity filled.
Myth vs. Reality
The belief that root canals are excruciating is a myth. In fact, the procedure is designed to relieve pain by removing the infected or damaged tissue inside the tooth.
Anesthesia and Comfort
A local anesthetic is always used to numb the area, ensuring you don’t feel pain during the procedure. While you may feel some pressure or mild discomfort, the treatment itself should not hurt.
Pain Relief and Recovery
Since a root canal removes infection, it often eliminates tooth pain, not causes it. Some mild soreness or discomfort is normal for a few days after treatment, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
At Oakville Dental Implant Studio, Dr. Kutaiba Alzohaili performs efficient, one-visit root canals to minimize discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery. If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out!
How will I feel after a root canal?
After a root canal, mild to moderate discomfort is normal but manageable.
After the Procedure:
Numbness: Lasts a few hours. Avoid chewing on the treated side.
Soreness: Mild tenderness around the tooth and jaw is normal.
First Few Days:
Discomfort: Sensitivity when chewing due to tissue inflammation.
Swelling (Rare): Minor gum tenderness may occur.
Pain Relief: Ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) can help.
Recovery & Follow-Up:
Healing: Most feel normal in days, with minor sensitivity lasting a week.
Crown: If needed, schedule follow-up for full tooth restoration.
When to Call Us:
Severe pain, worsening swelling, or infection signs (fever, pus, bad taste).
Bite feels off or discomfort when closing your mouth.
At Oakville Dental Implant Studio, Dr. Alzohaili ensures a smooth, efficient root canal, often completed in one visit. Your oral health is our priority!
What is the cost of root canal treatment?
At Oakville Dental Implant Studio, Dr. Alzohaili provides high-quality root canal treatment (RCT) with a focus on precision, efficiency, and patient comfort.
Cost of Root Canal Treatment
We follow the Ontario Dental Association (ODA) Fee Guide, and the cost of RCT depends on the complexity of the case and the tooth involved:
Front Tooth (Incisors & Canines): $620 – $1,100
Premolars: $720 – $1,300
Molars: $890 – $1,500
These prices typically include the examination, X-rays, local anesthesia, and the root canal procedure itself.
Insurance Coverage
Many insurance plans cover up to 100% of the root canal cost, depending on your policy. We can submit a pre-authorization to your insurance provider to confirm coverage and minimize out-of-pocket expenses.
Post-Treatment Restoration
After RCT, a dental crown or filling may be required to restore the tooth’s strength and function. This will be an additional cost, which we can discuss based on your specific needs.
For precise pricing and insurance details, contact us.
Can a root canal treatment fail?
Yes, a root canal treatment can fail for several reasons, including:
Incomplete Cleaning or Sealing – If all the infected pulp and bacteria are not completely removed, or if the canals are not properly sealed, reinfection can occur.
Cracked or Fractured Tooth – A crack in the tooth can allow bacteria to re-enter, leading to infection or failure of the treatment.
Missed Canals – Some teeth have complex canal systems, and if an extra canal is missed during treatment, bacteria can remain and cause reinfection.
New Decay or Infection – If decay develops around a filling or crown covering the treated tooth, bacteria can reach the root canal space again.
Poor Restoration – A poorly placed filling or crown may not properly seal the tooth, leading to leakage and reinfection.
Delayed or Inadequate Crown Placement – If the tooth isn’t restored with a crown or filling in time, it may become weak, allowing bacteria to enter.
Resistant Bacteria – Some infections involve aggressive bacteria that may not be fully eliminated during the initial treatment.
At Oakville Dental Implant Studio, we ensure that root canal treatments are performed with precision and care, using advanced techniques and technology to maximize success. Dr. Alzohaili’s expertise in endodontic procedures allows him to thoroughly clean and seal the canals, reducing the risk of failure. If you’re experiencing pain after a root canal or suspect a failed treatment, schedule a consultation to discuss your options for retreatment or further care.
Do I need crown after root canal treatment?
In most cases, a crown is recommended after a root canal treatment, especially for back teeth (molars and premolars) because they endure a lot of chewing pressure. A crown helps protect the tooth, restore its strength, and prevent it from breaking.
However, whether you need a crown depends on a few factors:
Tooth location: Front teeth (incisors and canines) experience less chewing force, so they may only need a filling. Molars and premolars usually require crowns.
Tooth structure: If a significant portion of the tooth is missing, a crown is highly recommended.
Bite force: If you grind your teeth or have a strong bite, a crown will help prevent fractures.
If you're unsure whether you need a crown, Dr. Alzohaili at Oakville Dental Implant Studio can evaluate your case and recommend the best solution based on your tooth's condition.
