Frequently Asked Questions about Root Canals

We have the answers.

What is a root canal?

Blue Plus logo

A root canal is a dental procedure used to remove the infected or damaged pulp from the inside of a tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, and when it becomes infected, it can cause pain and swelling.

Why is a root canal necessary?

Blue Plus logo

A root canal is necessary when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or damaged. Without treatment, the infection can spread to the surrounding teeth and gums, causing further damage and pain.

What are the signs that I may need a root canal?

Blue Plus logo

The signs that you may need a root canal include severe toothache, sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, swelling or tenderness in the gums, and a discolored or darkened tooth.

Is a root canal painful?

Blue Plus logo

While the idea of a root canal may sound painful, the procedure is typically not as uncomfortable as many people fear. Your dentist will use local anesthesia to numb the area and may provide sedation to help you relax during the procedure.

How long does a root canal take?

Blue Plus logo

The length of a root canal procedure will depend on the location and complexity of the affected tooth. In general, the procedure can take 1-2 hours and may require more than one visit to complete.

How do I care for my tooth after a root canal?

Blue Plus logo

After a root canal, it's important to practice good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing regularly and visiting your dentist for regular checkups. You may also need to avoid hard or sticky foods for a few days after the procedure and take any prescribed pain medication as directed.

It's been (shamefully) more than 4 years since my last visit to the dentist so needless to say I was pretty nervous. Turns out, I didn't need to be. The whole team was awesome - professional, friendly and, most important with a dentist, not at all judgmental despite my long absence from the dentist chair.

Everyone here is super friendly. The procedural costs here are on par with other SF dental offices but the I also feel the team is very honest and transparent here and do not try upsell you with unnecessary procedures. They send you a estimated treatment plan prior to your appointment with the cost of the treatment, insurance payment portion and your portion.

Truly wonderful experience. I am admittedly not the biggest fan of going to the dentist(!!), but Zen makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. I particularly liked the holistic explanation of dental health and the role dental health plays in the broader ecosystem of my overall health. I highly recommend Zen to anyone looking for a new dentist. The team is wonderful, and the experience is first class.

We moved from the city over a year ago, but now travel back over 4 hours just to be treated by Zen Dental. Bella, at the front desk, is such a pleasure to communicate with. she's always so friendly and helpful. The entire dental staff, and of course the dentists, are the best. They are so compassionate, skilled and knowledgeable. The prices are competitive and very reasonable. Our family of 4 all look forward to our visits.

I'll definitely be coming back! I dread going to the dentist since the last one I went to was more of a treatment/crown mill that suggested unnecessary procedures and happily billed patients exorbitant prices. I didn't feel like that here, I was given information about what was going on with my dental health and the next steps for what I wanted to do next felt more like my choice. Dr. Moslehi and staff are wonderful to work with!

It's not just the office setting that makes it zen, it's the staff (especially the wonderful hygienist and doctor). They're very calm and gentle, I've never felt so relaxed at the dentist.

I've been to Zen Dental Studio twice now. Dr. Nina Moslehi did an excellent job fixing a chipped tooth on my first visit, and I received equally good care during my second visit to get my teeth cleaned. Choosing a dentist can be stressful, but I think you'll be happy with Zen Dental Studio.

I cannot recommend Dr. Pokhrel's studio enough. I would get excited for my appointments here, and now that I no longer go there (moved to a different city) I truly miss it. How often does one find such a dentist? I can write a whole essay but to keep it short, here's why they're so great: Zen goes above and beyond to ensure you haven't missed anything. The end-to-end patient experience is designed with this in mind.
