Root Canal Pain

• When a patient is in intense pain, often due to
  an abscess, (an infection of the tooth) then root
  canal surgery may be considered. The thing is,
  there is very little root canal pain in surgery,
  the pain is due to the infection or abscess in
  the tooth. The root canal surgery will relieve
  the pain.
• Your respected root canal dentist must drain the
  fluid from the abscess and this will relieve the
  pressure, and reduce the pain.

Root Canal Pain

• Teeth consist of enamel on the outside, and
  dentin on the inside. Dentin covers up the pulp
  which is very soft and contains lots of nerve
  endings. It is the damage to the nerves that give
  us the pain.
• If the enamel is chipped or otherwise worn away,
  bacteria can enter the dentin and cause
  infection. The infections can go down into the
  root of the tooth and this is when root canal
  pain arises and surgery may be performed.

Root Canal Pain

• Your root canal dentist prescribed antibiotics
  due to the abscess. It is essential to get the
  abscess under control because the pus that is
  contained in the abscess can make the pain relief
  become ineffective.
• This is the pain relief which your chosen Los
  Angeles dentist needs to perform your root canal
  surgery. You need that! So, the antibiotics will
  clear up the abscess and this will make surgery
  safer for you.

Root Canal Pain

• One of the fallacies surrounding root canal work
  includes that the infection cannot return. All
  teeth require proper care, and you must continue
  seeing your root canal dentist regularly.
• Root canal surgery means that your dentist must
  take an X-Ray of your tooth yearly to ensure
  there is no infection. This is because you would
  not be able to feel it, due to the nerves being
  removed.
