Root canal treatment has a reputation for being painful, but modern techniques have changed that. Let us separate the myths from the facts about whether a root canal hurts.
Myth: root canals are very painful
Fact: root canal treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic and is often no more uncomfortable than a regular filling. It actually relieves the pain caused by an infected tooth.
Why might I need a root canal?
A root canal treats infection or damage inside the tooth, helping to save your natural tooth rather than removing it.
