  • What is the medication that the dentist will use as an anesthesia before my root canal?

    Unless the tooth is infected, probably no medication other than local anesthetic to numb you. After the procedure, the dentist may prescribe an antibiotic and a pain killer. Sometimes, but rarely, a steroid may be prescribed. Your dentist will take a thorough health history to determine what medications will be suitable for you. READ MORE

  • Abscessed tooth? What could this mean?

    A tooth abscess can occur whenever there is an irreversible insult to the pulp (nerve) of the tooth, usually due to a deep cavity or trauma. The pulp will begin to die, and with that a bacterial infection will set in, causing pain and swelling. An abscessed tooth will require antibiotics to prevent the spread of the infection, followed by root canal therapy or an extraction. Early signs of a preabscessed tooth may be increased sensitivity to hot, cold or chewing. This may be followed by localized swelling. Should any of these symptoms occur, consult first with your general dentist who may then refer you to a root canal specialist (endodontist). READ MORE

  • Is a root canal in pregnancy safe?

    I would first consult with your obstetrician, but it’s far more dangerous for you to have a dental infection than the minimal risks of having a root canal performed by an endodontist. Have your general dentist refer you to an endodontist. READ MORE

  • I underwent a root canal treatment and it is paining again. What could be the reason?

    It’s possible that the tooth has reinfected, or that Your bite is too heavy on this tooth, or there could be a fracture. I would return to your treating dentist or see a root canal specialist (endodontist) READ MORE
