Taking The Pain Out Of A Root Canal: What To Do
You're getting a root canal done, and you're worried about the potential pain the procedure can cause. The actual work itself is not often painful as your dentist is skilled and will take care to not injure your mouth or cause pain when they work on your teeth. It's the depth of the infected tooth going into the nerves that makes your mouth feel sore and tender.
Sometimes there is discomfort during the actual root canal procedure itself, although most discomfort comes during the healing process.
