Are you dreading a root canal? You're not alone. For years, root canals have been one of the most feared dental procedures, but thanks to modern dentistry, they are now quicker, more comfortable, and virtually pain-free! At Smile Esthetics in Scottsdale, Dr. Mariana Conant and her team are dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care to ensure that your experience is as smooth as possible.

In this educational video, we dive deep into everything you need to know about root canals, debunking the myths and answering common questions such as:

What exactly is a root canal, and why is it necessary?
What happens during a root canal procedure?
Is the procedure painful?
How can modern technologies, such as sedation dentistry and advanced anesthesia, make root canals more comfortable?
How can a root canal save your natural tooth?
Why Do You Need a Root Canal?
Root canals are performed when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or damaged due to decay, trauma, or extensive dental work. Ignoring the issue could lead to further complications like abscesses, intense pain, and tooth loss. During the root canal treatment, Dr. Conant will remove the infected tissue, clean and seal the tooth, and restore it to normal function.

By preserving your natural tooth, a root canal helps prevent more extensive procedures like tooth extraction or dental implants.

Is a Root Canal Painful?
Many people fear root canals because they think it will be a painful process. However, with advancements in dental technology and modern techniques, most patients describe the procedure as being similar to getting a filling. Sedation dentistry and local anesthesia ensure you feel little to no discomfort during the process.

At Smile Esthetics, we use state-of-the-art equipment and the latest pain management solutions to make sure that even complex cases can be handled comfortably. After your root canal, you’ll be able to return to your normal activities with minimal downtime.

What Are the Benefits of a Root Canal?
Pain relief: By addressing the infection, the procedure will relieve the pain you’ve been experiencing from the toothache.
Preservation of your natural tooth: Instead of extracting the tooth, a root canal can save it, preventing more complicated treatments.
Improved oral health: Removing the infected pulp helps maintain the health of surrounding teeth and gums.
What Is the Recovery Process Like?
Recovery from a root canal is generally smooth and quick. You may experience some mild discomfort after the procedure, but over-the-counter pain medications and proper oral hygiene should help you heal in no time. Most patients return to normal activities the next day.

Dr. Conant will provide you with post-procedure care instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results. Following the procedure, the tooth will typically require a crown to protect and restore its full function.
