“Is a root canal procedure safe?”

Yes

Root canal therapy is one of the safest and most predictable procedures in dentistry in the right hands. Please come in for a consultation to discuss any concerns you may have.

Root canal procedures are generally considered safe and are a common treatment option for addressing certain dental problems. While there are some risks associated with the procedure, such as infection or damage to surrounding teeth or tissues, these risks are relatively rare and can be minimized through proper preparation and technique.

It's important to note that every individual's situation is unique, and there may be specific circumstances that make a root canal less safe or appropriate. It's always a good idea to discuss the risks and benefits of any dental procedure with your dentist or endodontist before making a decision about your care.

Overall, root canals are a safe and effective treatment option for addressing certain dental problems and can help to alleviate pain and restore function to damaged teeth.

Yes. Even though very small tools are used in the procedure, safety is ensured by the use of the rubber dam. It prevents objects from going into the patient's throat and also keeps the treating area clean, dry and contamination-free. Dr. Conrad

If you go to a reputable endodontist and correct protocols are followed, a root canal should be safe.
