What is root
canal treatment: Is root canal treatment painful?
Back in the old days,
having root canal treatment could
be quite a traumatic experience, especially before the advent of anesthetics.
As an importance, root
canal treatment has had a bad rap ever since.
However, with grow of technological advancements and new understandings in physiology and pharmacology, this type of treatment is no longer traumatic. In fact, many root canal patients these days fall unconscious during the treatment as there is minimal to no discomfort and they can rest their jaws on a little rubber bite block, so they don’t have to consciously keep their mouth open throughout.
The sensations that most patients feel during now today’s root canal treatment, even after the area is numbed, are those of pushing, pulling, pressure and vibration. These sensations are 100 percent completely normal.
Not normal, however, is any kind of feeling of sharp pain during the procedure. If a patient does feel such kind of pain, they are pre-warned to let their clinician know, as anesthetic doses and the techniques required to achieve complete numbness vary between individual patients, stages of disease, tooth types and tooth different locations. In some cases, adjustments need to be made accordingly during the whole of the treatment sessions to make you more comfortable.
While modern anesthetics can control physiological manifestations of pain, they are unable to address psychological manifestations. If a patient is very anxious and panic, effective pain control can be difficult and may need to be managed via additional means. Any affected patient should tell their doctor’s during the initial consultation, so that extra precautions can be discussed and arranged before treatment start.
