In the past, Gilbert retreatment and root canals were notoriously painful procedures. However, with today’s technology there is really no difference between having a root canal or simply getting a cavity filled. Your dentist will use a local anesthetic to numb the painful, affected area, so you will essentially feel nothing but some light pressure throughout the entire procedure. The pain relief you experience immediately afterward is worth every bit of the procedure! If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to ask our team at Gilbert Vista Dental Care. We are dedicated to putting your mind at ease and taking all the time necessary to ensure you feel comfortable and ready for the procedure to begin.
