Is Root Canal Treatment Really Painful?

The Myth of the Painful Root Canal

Root canals have a reputation for being painful, but modern techniques have made the procedure comfortable and routine. In most cases it relieves pain rather than causing it.

What Actually Causes the Pain

The discomfort people remember usually comes from the infected tooth itself, not the treatment. A root canal removes that infection and settles the pain.

With effective local anaesthesia, the procedure feels similar to having a regular filling.
