Frequently asked
Is a root canal painful?+
With modern anaesthesia, most patients feel little to no pain during treatment, far less than the untreated toothache that led them in.
Do I need a crown afterward?+
For back teeth especially, yes: a crown protects the tooth from fracturing since it becomes more brittle after treatment.
