Everything You Need to Know
Our Devoted team answers the most common questions about root canal treatment in Chesterfield, MI.
When Is a Root Canal Necessary?
A root canal is needed when the soft tissue inside your tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, a crack, or repeated dental procedures. Signs include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, tooth darkening, or swelling. If you're experiencing these symptoms in Chesterfield, call Devoted Dental Chesterfield right away.
What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment
The procedure begins with local anesthesia for complete comfort. Your dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the canals, and seals the tooth against reinfection. A crown is typically placed afterward to protect the tooth. Most cases require one to two appointments.

Common Questions About
Root Canals
1Does a root canal hurt?
No. Root canal treatment is performed under local anesthesia and is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Most patients feel significant relief from pain after the procedure.
2How long does a root canal take in Chesterfield?
Most root canals are completed in one to two appointments of about 60 to 90 minutes each, depending on complexity.
3Does Medicaid cover root canals in Michigan?
Medicaid may cover root canal treatment depending on the tooth and your specific plan. Our Chesterfield team will verify your coverage before treatment.
4What happens if I don't get a root canal?
An untreated infected tooth will not heal on its own. The infection can spread to surrounding teeth and bone and in severe cases become a medical emergency. Early treatment is always the best option.
