Many patients delay dental treatment because of one common fear — “Will root canal treatment be painful?”
This fear is often based on outdated information. With modern dentistry, root canal treatment is safe, comfortable, and virtually painless when done by an experienced dentist.
Let’s separate myths from facts.
❌ Myth 1: Root canal treatment is very painful
Fact:
Root canal treatment is done under local anesthesia, which means the area is completely numb. Most patients report that the procedure feels similar to getting a dental filling.
At Skyline Dental, Whitefield, we use advanced techniques to ensure painless root canal treatment and patient comfort throughout the procedure.
❌ Myth 2: Tooth extraction is better than a root canal
Fact:
Saving your natural tooth is always the best option. Root canal treatment removes infection while preserving the tooth structure, maintaining your bite and smile.
❌ Myth 3: Pain continues after the procedure
Fact:
Mild discomfort for a day or two is normal, but severe pain is uncommon. Proper care and a well-placed crown ensure long-term comfort.
