Frequently Asked Questions from Patients
① What kind of pain occurs before treatment?
A: Even if you have been treated at another clinic and still feel pain, typical symptoms indicating the need for root canal treatment include unbearable throbbing tooth pain, pain when biting, swollen and painful gums, and a sense of discomfort.
Pre-treatment measures if the pain is severe
If you cannot visit the clinic, we may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers, but necessary measures vary depending on the symptoms. Please call us if you are in trouble.
② What kind of pain occurs during treatment?
A: We take care to minimize pain during treatment.
Procedures that may cause pain are generally performed under anesthesia. We also use topical anesthesia to ensure you do not feel pain.
(We also use anesthesia for root canal treatment at our clinic)
③ What kind of pain occurs after treatment?
A: Due to stimuli during treatment, symptoms such as tooth pain, gum pain and swelling, jaw pain from prolonged opening, and numbness of the tongue or gums may occur.
Pain from treatment stimuli usually subsides within a few days, but if the symptoms are severe or concerning, please contact us immediately.
We also prescribe pain relievers if pain is anticipated.
④ I'm scared because I don't know what's being done in my mouth.
A: We proceed with treatment while informing you each step of the way. We not only explain the condition before and after treatment but also record the treatment process on video and explain what was done after the treatment.
Fear and anxiety vary among patients. We take care to address each concern, so please feel free to speak up about even small matters.
