Most patients who undergo a root canal are happy that they did so. In fact, one study found that an <a href=\"https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/news\/2021-10-root-canal-treatment-favored-badly.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">overwhelming 87% of people had no regrets<\/a> about committing to the procedure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why can you commit to a root canal with confidence? Read this blog post to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Pain Is Not Bad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the popular media, root canal therapy is often depicted as being extremely painful. Nothing could be further from the truth. During the procedure itself, local anesthesia (and possibly sedation) can ensure that you feel little to nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After your appointment, some soreness is to be expected, but the worst of the discomfort should wear off fairly quickly. Once a crown is secured onto your treated tooth, you can expect it to provide you with many years of pain-free function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Results Last&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are varying estimates about the success rate of root canal therapy. Most studies, though, show that it is successful in <em>at least <\/em>90% of cases, and the majority of patients have no further problems with their treated tooth for decades. In fact, it is common for the results of a root canal to last throughout a person\u2019s entire lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Risks Are Exaggerated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a small percentage of people who believe that root canal therapy can cause various diseases, including cancer. There is simply no real scientific evidence behind such claims. In fact, according to the study mentioned at the beginning of this article, an improved health-related quality of life was often present in patients who started root canal therapy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Can Save Money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial cost of a tooth extraction is lower than that of root canal therapy. However, if you opt to get a tooth removed, you should replace it as soon as possible. Otherwise, you put yourself at risk of issues like bone deterioration in the jaw and future tooth loss. Tooth replacement can be quite pricey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Root canal therapy, on the other hand, is usually a one-time expense that provides many years of benefits. It is often cheaper in the long run than an extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Smile Will Look Great<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After your root canal, you may get a crown placed on it. You can opt to get a metal-free restoration that looks virtually identical to a natural tooth. No one will ever have to know that you underwent some dental work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of undergoing root canal therapy might be a little scary, but in reality, it is a wonderful treatment. You are unlikely to regret it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meet the Practice<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team at Santavicca Dental Professionals is proud to serve patients in Lebanon and the surrounding areas.
