This is probably the question we hear most often.
Modern root canal treatment is performed with local anesthetic, and most patients tell us the procedure is much easier than they expected. In fact, the pain from an infected tooth is usually much worse than the root canal itself.
If you’re nervous, let us know. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas), noise-canceling headphones with streaming services, blankets, and a team that will explain each step before we begin.
Our goal is simple: help you get out of pain—not add to it.
