If you’re unsure whether your symptoms require treatment, our team at Leslie North Dental can assess your tooth and give you clear, honest guidance. Call us today!
This is the number one question we hear, and we understand why. The short answer? No. Root canal therapy is designed to relieve pain, not cause it. At Leslie North Dental, we take a comfort-first approach from the moment you walk in.
Before we begin, the area around your tooth is fully numbed using effective local anesthesia. This ensures you don’t feel pain during the procedure. We take our time to make sure you are completely comfortable before starting. Most patients say the treatment feels similar to getting a filling, not the scary experience they imagined.
If you feel anxious about dental treatment, we offer sedation options to help you relax throughout your appointment. Whether you experience mild nervousness or strong dental anxiety, our team will discuss the best option for you and make sure you feel safe and calm.
You are always in control. We check in with you during the procedure and can pause anytime if you need a break.
Knowing what will happen can make everything feel easier.
