Why You Shouldn’t Delay Your Root Canal

What Patients Really Worry About (and the Truth Behind It)

When people hear the words “root canal,” the first emotion that often appears is fear.. fear of pain, cost, or complications. Yet, what most patients don’t realize is that delaying a root canal can lead to infection, tooth loss, and even more expensive treatments later. At Fesamedcare, our role as your trusted medical advisor is to guide you to the best dental specialists in Colombia ensuring you receive safe, modern, and comfortable care from certified professionals.

Let’s address the most common concerns patients have, one by one.

Does a root canal hurt

The fear of pain is the number-one reason people avoid the dentist. But modern technology and local anesthesia have transformed this experience. Today, a root canal is no more uncomfortable than a regular filling.
Infection and inflammation actually cause the real pain not the treatment. Getting it done early relieves pressure, saves the tooth, and stops the infection from spreading. With Fesamedcare, you’re connected to clinics that use digital imaging, rotary endodontics, and advanced anesthesia systems that make your visit fast and pain-free.

How long will it take?

Time is another big worry, especially for international patients. Most root canals can be completed in just one or two visits, depending on the complexity. Our partner clinics understand that travelers value efficiency which is why Fesamedcare designs complete dental tourism itineraries that fit your schedule, including airport transfers, hotels, and follow-up visits if needed.

What if I don’t get the root canal done?

Some people hope the pain will go away or think extraction is easier. Unfortunately, avoiding treatment allows the infection to spread into the jawbone or bloodstream. Leaving a decayed tooth untreated can lead to abscesses, bone loss, and systemic infection.
Saving your natural tooth through a root canal is almost always the better long-term solution  functionally, aesthetically, and financially. Through Fesamedcare, you can speak directly with dental professionals who evaluate your case and explain your best options clearly and honestly.

Will my tooth still be good after the root canal?

Yes and often even stronger than before. A properly treated and restored tooth can last a lifetime with the right crown and maintenance. At Fesamedcare, we only work with clinics that use high-quality materials such as E-max and zirconium crowns to restore both strength and beauty to your smile.

Is it safe?

Absolutely. Root canal therapy is a scientifically proven, safe procedure. There’s no link between root canal treatments and other illnesses, despite persistent internet myths. At Fesamedcare, we ensure that your treatment follows strict international sterilization protocols and is performed by licensed endodontists in accredited clinics in Cali, Colombia.
