because the tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia. You may feel pressure, vibration, water spray or jaw tiredness. The tooth can be sore for a few days afterwards, especially if it was infected or painful before treatment. Worsening pain, swelling, fever, bad taste or pain that does not improve should be checked.<\/p>\n      <\/section>\n\n      <section>\n        <h2>Why root canal treatment has a painful reputation<\/h2>\n        <p>Many people associate root canal treatment with pain because the tooth often hurts before treatment begins. The purpose of the treatment is to remove infected or inflamed tissue inside the tooth and seal the root canal system.<\/p>\n        <p>Modern root canal treatment is performed with local anaesthesia. If pain occurs during the procedure, the dentist should pause and adjust the pain-control plan.<\/p>\n      <\/section>\n      <section>\n        <h2>What you may feel<\/h2>\n        <table>\n          <caption>This table separates expected sensations from symptoms that should be reported.<\/caption>\n          <thead>\n            <tr>\n              <th scope=\"col\">Sensation<\/th>\n              <th scope=\"col\">Often expected?<\/th>\n              <th scope=\"col\">What to do<\/th>\n            <\/tr>\n          <\/thead>\n          <tbody>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Pressure or vibration<\/td>\n              <td>Yes.<\/td>\n              <td>This can occur even when the tooth is numb.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Jaw tiredness<\/td>\n              <td>Common during longer visits.<\/td>\n              <td>Ask for breaks when needed.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Sharp pain during treatment<\/td>\n              <td>No.<\/td>\n              <td>Use the stop signal so anaesthesia can be checked.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Mild soreness after treatment<\/td>\n              <td>Common.<\/td>\n              <td>Follow the clinic\u2019s advice and monitor improvement.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Increasing swelling or fever<\/td>\n              <td>Warning sign.<\/td>\n              <td>Contact the clinic promptly.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n          <\/tbody>\n        <\/table>\n      <\/section>\n      <section>\n        <h2>What affects comfort?<\/h2>\n        <ul>\n          <li>How inflamed or infected the tooth is before treatment.<\/li>\n          <li>Whether swelling or abscess is present.<\/li>\n          <li>How complex the root anatomy is.<\/li>\n          <li>Length of the appointment.<\/li>\n          <li>Previous anxiety or difficult dental experiences.<\/li>\n          <li>Whether the tooth needs several visits.<\/li>\n          <li>Whether a temporary filling or crown is needed afterwards.<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n      <\/section>\n      <section>\n        <h2>What happens at Gloss &#038; Floss Dental Care\u00ae?<\/h2>\n        <p>At Gloss &#038; Floss Dental Care\u00ae in Stockholm, we explain the reason for root canal treatment, numb the area and check comfort before continuing.<\/p>\n        <p>After treatment, we explain what soreness can be normal, how to protect the temporary restoration and when to contact the clinic.<\/p>\n      <\/section>\n      <section>\n        <h2>When should you contact the clinic?<\/h2>\n        <p>Contact the clinic if pain worsens, swelling develops, the temporary filling falls out, the tooth feels high in the bite or you develop fever or bad taste.<\/p>\n        <div class=\"gf-note-box\">\n          <p><strong>Safety note:<\/strong> Root canal discomfort should generally improve.
