What happens during a root canal?

First, the dentist will inject Novocaine into your gums. This will numb your mouth and help avoid feeling any severe pain. However, you will still remain conscious throughout the entire procedure. Second, the doctor will go into your tooth and remove the infected pulp that is causing the infection and inflammation. Lastly, the dentist will install a crown on the top of the tooth to avoid future infection. The result is that your tooth is now sealed and healthier than before.

What are the most common warning signs that you may need a root canal?

If your tooth or mouth is causing consistent pain and discomfort, it could be a sign of serious infection. Healthy gums are smooth. Bumpy gums often mean you have an infected tooth.Swollen Gums. Darkening of the Gums could mean your tooth and possible gums are both decaying. A chipped or cracked tooth is more likely to become inflamed or infected.

How much does a root canal cost?

Depending on the tooth, the cost per tooth can be anywhere from $864 to $1,200.
