Root Canal?!
Question:
Root Canal?
My dentist recently said that one of my cavitys is very deep, almost to my nerve. She is worried about doing a root canal. I want to know, is it painful? Are the needles painful? Im very, very scared. What should I do.
Answers:
Do not be scared, a root canal is like doing a filling, except that it takes more time. http://www.studiodentaire.com/en/treatme...
Yes, the dentist has to numb the tooth, that is why she uses needles, the same way it is used for fillings.
You might experience a bit of pain after the procedure, for a few days, but pain killers like Advil or Tylenol are usually enough to help.
