Root canal treatment has an undeserved reputation for being painful. In reality, modern root canal therapy at MEMBH is a comfortable, routine procedure that saves your natural tooth and relieves pain caused by infection.

Common Myths Debunked

Myth: Root canals are extremely painful.
Fact: With modern anesthesia and techniques, root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. The procedure actually relieves the pain caused by the infected tooth.

Myth: It's better to extract the tooth.
Fact: Saving your natural tooth is always preferable. Extraction can lead to shifting teeth, bite problems, and the need for costly replacements.

If you're experiencing persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot and cold, or swollen gums, visit MEMBH's dental team for an evaluation. Early treatment can save your tooth and prevent complications.
