How painful is root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment is often no more painful than getting a filling. With modern techniques and local anesthesia, most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Some soreness afterward is normal, but it typically subsides within a few days.

How long does a root canal treatment take?

The duration of a root canal treatment depends on the complexity of the case, but most procedures can be completed in one to two hours. In some cases, multiple visits may be necessary, especially if a crown is required.
