Numbing

Common questions
Does a root canal hurt?
You are numb during the treatment. The tooth may be sore for a few days. Your dentist tells you how to handle it.
Can I just pull the tooth?
Sometimes. But keeping your own tooth is often better for chewing and nearby teeth. Your dentist explains both choices.
Will I need a crown?
Back teeth often need a crown after a root canal. It keeps them from breaking.
