FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is root canal treatment painful?

Modern root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Dr. Daniel Leung uses effective local anesthesia, and most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. Some soreness for 1–2 days after is normal.

How do I know if I need a root canal?

Common signs include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, darkening of the tooth, and swelling or tenderness in nearby gums. A dental x-ray can confirm whether the nerve is infected.

How long does a root canal take?

Most root canal treatments take 1–2 appointments of about 60–90 minutes each, depending on the number of canals and complexity of the case.

Can I drive after the procedure?

Yes, if you received only local anesthesia. If you opted for sedation, you will need a driver. We will discuss this at your consultation.
