There’s No Reason to Fear a Root Canal

We are here to assuage your concerns about your upcoming root canal.

Dental FearHave you recently been told that you need root canal treatment? If so, you may have turned to the Internet to provide you with the information you need to understand more about your upcoming procedure; however, there are a lot of myths and misinformation regarding root canals and our Norfolk, MA, dentists Dr. Minda Sapir and Dr. Shabtai Sapir want you to be fully and properly informed about what goes into getting a root canal before it happens.

First and foremost, if a TV show or movie has made you think that a root canal is some crazy form of dental torture, we are here to give you the peace of mind you are looking for. Dental technology has come a long way over the years, which means that many dental procedures are now easier, faster and completely painless. Root canals are just one of these procedures.

Say Goodbye to Pain

Most people who require root canal treatment come into our office because they are experiencing a pretty severe and persistent toothache. In order to get rid of the pain our Norfolk, MA, general dentist will need to perform root canal therapy to remove the inflamed or infected dental pulp (a structure that lies inside the tooth). Advanced dental techniques also ensure that along with providing you with instant relief from your toothache, the procedure really is no more invasive than getting a dental filling nowadays.

And if this wasn’t enough to make you feel at ease, know that we also apply a local anesthesia to the area prior to treatment. This anesthesia will numb the area so that you don’t feel any discomfort while we perform your root canal. Of course, your comfort is our number one priority, so we will continuously check on you and make sure you aren’t feeling any discomfort throughout your procedure.

Norfolk Family & Pediatric Dentistry is so happy you’ve chosen us to give you the comprehensive and tailored dental care that you need. No matter if you are bringing your child in for their first dental checkup or you are experiencing a toothache in Norfolk, MA, we are here for you every step of the way.
