When You Might Need A Root Canal

A root canal may be recommended when the inside of the tooth (the nerve) is inflamed or infected. Common signs include:

  • Toothache that does not go away

  • Pain when biting or chewing

  • Hot or cold sensitivity that lingers

  • Swollen gum or facial swelling

  • A pimple-like bump on the gum

  • A tooth that is deeply decayed or cracked

Not every toothache needs a root canal. We will diagnose first, then recommend the simplest option that makes sense for your tooth.

What A Root Canal Does (And What To Expect)

A root canal is designed to remove infection or inflammation, relieve pain, and help you keep your natural tooth.

  1. Most visits follow a simple path:

    1. Exam and imaging to find the source of the problem

    2. Clear plan (including what happens if you wait)

    3. Comfort-first numbing and a calm pace

    4. Clean and seal the tooth to stop the infection and protect it

    5. Restore and protect the tooth afterward (often a filling or crown)

    Does it hurt? Most patients say it is easier than expected. The tooth is thoroughly numbed, and treatment is meant to relieve the pain you are feeling.

Root Canal FAQs

1) How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common signs include lingering sensitivity, pain when biting, swelling, or a toothache that does not go away. An exam and imaging confirm the cause.
2) Does a root canal hurt?
Most patients say it is easier than expected. We numb thoroughly, and the goal is to remove the source of pain.
3) How long does a root canal take?
It depends on the tooth and complexity. We will give you a realistic time estimate after your exam.
4) Can you do a root canal the same day?
Sometimes, depending on your tooth and schedule availability. If not, we focus on relief and a clear next step.
5) Will I need more than one visit?
Some cases are completed in one visit, while others need a follow-up. We will tell you what to expect before we begin.
6) Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Often, yes—especially for molars. A crown helps protect the tooth from cracking and supports long-term success.
7) What should I expect after treatment?
Mild soreness is common for a few days. Call us if swelling develops, pain is getting worse, or your bite feels off.
8) Do I need antibiotics?
Not always. Antibiotics are recommended only when clinically appropriate, and treating the tooth is usually the main solution.
9) What happens if I wait?
Infection usually does not resolve on its own and can worsen. Waiting can increase pain and make treatment more complex.
10) Is it better to pull the tooth instead?
When a tooth can be saved, keeping your natural tooth is often the best long-term option. We will explain both options clearly.
11) What if I had a root canal before and it hurts again?
Sometimes a tooth needs additional evaluation or retreatment. We will assess the cause and walk you through options.
12) How much does a root canal cost?
Cost depends on which tooth is involved, complexity, and whether a crown is needed afterward. We provide an estimate whenever possible and can review Self-Care Savings Plan and Cherry options when appropriate.
