Can I Wait 6 Months For A Root Canal ?

No. If your tooth needs root canal treatment, waiting 6 months can be risky because the infection or damage can worsen during that time. 🦷 We understand that sometimes the thought of delaying a root canal comes from simply being worried about the pain. But you don't have to let that fear stop you from getting the treatment you need.

At Ivory Dental Clinic, we take steps to make root canal treatment as comfortable and pain-free as possible. The tooth is properly numbed before treatment, so you should not feel sharp pain during the procedure. ❤️

What Can Happen If You Delay?

Waiting too long can allow the underlying infection or damage to progress and may lead to:

🦠 Worsening infection around the tooth
😣 Increasing or recurring tooth pain
🫧 Swelling or formation of an abscess
🦷 Damage to the surrounding bone and tissues
⚠️ More complex treatment if the infection spreads
❌ Greater difficulty saving the natural tooth in some cases

At Ivory Dental Clinic, we understand that dental treatment can feel stressful. Our priority is to keep you comfortable while treating the underlying problem and preserving your natural tooth whenever possible.
