Questions
About Root Canal Treatment
Is a root canal painful?
With local anaesthetic, the treatment feels much like a filling. The tooth may feel tender for a few days afterwards.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Molars and premolars usually do, because a treated tooth becomes more brittle. Front teeth can often be restored with a filling.
Can I fly between visits?
Yes. Between visits the tooth has a temporary filling. Let us know your travel dates and we will plan around them.
