Dentist Delaware

Most people you ask will tell you that the thought of having a root canal terrifies them.  They cringe and tell you that they think it will hurt to have a root canal.  The truth is, having a root canal does not actually hurt.  Yes, its true that the dentist will have to numb the area by using a needle and this may cause you to feel a pinch.  Once the area is numb, the rest of the procedure will not be felt.  The pain that one feels is typically prior to having the root canal which can often be the indicator that one is needed.

A friend of mine was recently told that she would need a root canal and her immediate reaction was to call because she was upset.  She had herself so worried and concerned because she just knew it would hurt. After explaining the actual process to her she felt much better and called immediately to schedule the root canal. 

Here is a video of Dr. Jerry Gordon performing a root canal on one of his patients.  This is not an exact depiction of how every doctor performs a root canal.
