The dentist cleans the canals, disinfects them, and seals the tooth to relieve pain and prevent further infection."},{"question":"Why might I need a root canal?","answer":"Root canals are recommended when the nerve inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, cracks, trauma, or deep fillings. Treating the infection helps save the natural tooth."},{"question":"Does a root canal hurt?","answer":"The procedure is usually comfortable. Local anaesthetic is used, and most patients feel relief afterward because the source of pain is removed."},{"question":"How long does a root canal take to heal?","answer":"Most patients feel better within a few days. Full healing depends on the severity of the infection, but discomfort typically settles quickly once the tooth is treated"},{"question":"Do I need a crown after a root canal?","answer":"Many root\u2011treated teeth benefit from a crown because they can become brittle over time.
