Endodontic FAQs

Q: How do I know if I need a root canal?

Common signs you may need a root canal include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling around the tooth, or discoloration. However, some infections may not show symptoms. A dental exam and X-rays at Shen Dental can confirm if endodontic treatment is necessary.

Q: Is a root canal painful?

With modern techniques and local anesthesia, root canals are typically no more uncomfortable than getting a dental filling. Our team prioritizes your comfort, ensuring a pain-free experience during and after the procedure.

Q: How Long Does a Root Canal Procedure Take?

A root canal typically takes one to two appointments to complete, depending on the complexity of the case and the condition of the tooth. Dr. Fisher will assess your situation and provide a clear timeline during your consultation.
