To grind a root canal done tooth do they put injection? The root canal was done before years. Now I planned to put a cap for it. So they are going to grind. I want to know about it.

Hello your dentist will grind the rct treated tooth without giving you anaesthesia/injection. And then an impression would be taken to prepare the cap/crown for it. Its a painless procedure. Go ahead and get that done. Hope this helps. You can contact for further details. Take care.

Hey there, it will depend on your pain tolerance capacity. You do not need to worry about injection. It will be around tooth only and is not that painful. For any further query use my doctor code gm2c5d.

Hello, if rct had been done years back ,than most of the time injection is not needed. But yes, if you feel pain while cutting the tooth, than doctor may give you anaesthesia. Thanks.

Usually not required as the tooth is expected to be non painful on grinding, still dentist and patient preferences differ on the subject.

If a root canal treatment has already been done to your tooth, then you will not feel any pain when any procedure is done to that particular tooth; because the nerve has already been taken out during the rct procedure. So, the dentist will not give you anesthesia via an injection to grind the tooth. Generally, a cap/crown is put on the tooth to protect it from further damage. For the same, the tooth is given a proper shape on order to make the cap/crown fit properly.

They are grinding it to create space for the cap that will be fixed and inocclusion with the upper or lower teeth ..don't worry after reducing the tooth an impression will be taken and send to the lab for fabricating the cap ..

Hi rubata, no need of anesthesia becoz the tooth already lost its senses so directly they can grind your tooth.

As the tooth was previously rct treated that means there is no nerve endings present over there. So during grinding your doctor will not apply injection. Thanks.

In an ideal case, a root canal treated tooth does not require anesthesia because the nerves and blood vessels are removed in the root canal treatment. That being said, sometimes patients complain of sensitivity during tooth preparation before receiving a crown. Anesthesia is not usually administered but if the patient has low tolerance to pain and requests to be given anesthesia, the dentist will not deny it. Don't worry, you will not require an injection during this session of treatment. Take care. Regards, dental galaxy, pune url/dentalgalaxy url/dentalgalaxybaner.

Hi . No your dentist won't need to give an injection to you to shape the tooth for the purpose of capping on a root canal treated tooth. Hope it relieves your fear and anxiety.
