What Should You Know About Root Canal?
After undergoing root canal treatment at Al-Ahad Dental Care, your endodontist will provide you with detailed post-care instructions. As the anesthesia wears off, you may experience some discomfort, but there’s no need to worry—this pain is temporary. Allow your tooth time to heal, and any soreness in the treated area should gradually subside. Rest assured, with proper care, you will feel better as the healing process continues.
Who Needs Root Canal Treatment?
When the pulp of a tooth becomes infected or injured, it cannot heal on its own, causing the tissue to die. Without root canal treatment, the infection can spread, leading to the tooth becoming loose and eventually requiring extraction. Root canal treatment in Lahore prevents this by saving the affected tooth. In some cases, patients may avoid extraction, but if the decay is extensive or there is significant bone loss due to gum or periodontal disease, extraction becomes necessary to maintain overall dental health.
How Painful Is The Treatment?
One common fear about root canal treatment is that it will be painful. However, when performed by our skilled dental surgeons, the procedure is relatively painless. Any discomfort you may feel is typically due to the infection, not the treatment itself. To ensure your comfort, our dentists use local anesthesia to numb the tooth and surrounding area. While some tenderness after the procedure is normal, it’s temporary, and over-the-counter painkillers are usually enough to manage any discomfort.
