Root Root Canal Treatment | Endodontics

Root canal treatment is typically done under local anesthesia to ensure the procedure is virtually painless. Advances in dental technology and techniques have significantly increased patient comfort during the procedure. After the anesthesia wears off  You may experience temporary discomfort or mild pain, but this can be relieved with over-the-counter pain medications.

The duration of root canal treatment depends on the complexity of the case and the tooth involved. On average, the procedure takes about 60 minutes to 2 hours per visit. Most root canal treatments require one to two visits to complete the procedure.
