Why Root Canals Get A Bad Rap
Let's be honest: root canals have a reputation problem. But here's the truth—the procedure itself isn't painful. What's painful is the infected tooth that needs treatment.
A root canal actually relieves pain by removing the infected tissue inside your tooth. With modern anesthesia and techniques, most patients report the experience is no worse than getting a filling. Many are surprised at how comfortable the procedure actually is.
At Memphis Dental, we prioritize your comfort with gentle techniques, effective numbing, and sedation options for anxious patients. Our goal is to change the way you think about root canals.
