​Getting Ready for a Root Canal
A helpful guide for what you need to know
​First of all remember that if you have an infected tooth you can save it instead of having to do a tooth extraction by getting a competent dentist to perform a root canal procedure.

If you’re getting ready for a root canal in Toledo, OH, remember that when the procedure is over, your pain will be relieved, not increased! Today’s technology and anesthetics make the procedure just about as uncomfortable as getting a tooth filling. There will certainly be some discomfort that lasts a day or two afterwards, but it’s really nothing you need to lose sleep over.

When you’re getting ready for a Toledo, OH root canal, it’s very important to relax. Getting a good rest the night before your appointment will help to calm you, and allow you to think clearly. Make sure to eat a good, healthy meal before your procedure. Since your mouth will be numb for several hours after the treatment, you’ll feel better with a full stomach beforehand. Be sure to abstain from alcohol or cigarettes 12 hours before your root canal, too. Alcohol and nicotine can counteract the effect of local anesthesia. You wouldn’t want that!
​
It’s also nice if you bring someone to your appointment with you. Knowing that a friend is there for you will make the root canal much easier to get through. They can then drive you home, where you’re free to spend the rest of the day resting your nerves.
