When you hear the term “root canal,” you probably associate this infamous procedure with a sense of dread. However, this association is actually based in a number of common misconceptions. Modern technology has made root canal procedures virtually painless!
New advancements and technologies have improved the efficiency and comfort of a procedure so that patients no longer have to be afraid of the process. Digital x-rays, precision instruments and effective dental anesthetic have made it possible to accurately target infections. Since the entire process is less invasive, patients have a reduced healing time and can return to their normal activities without pain. Any discomfort that is felt during the healing period can be easily relieved with over-the-counter painkillers.
