Does a root canal hurt?

A root canal is performed using local anesthesia, so the surgery is not painful. You should expect some pain and swelling following the operation. Your doctor may prescribe pain medication or offer an aftercare plan to mitigate discomfort.

Is a root canal a permanent solution?

Root canals are permanent solutions. However, if the treated tooth or surrounding teeth become infected, it is sometimes necessary to reperform the root canal.
