Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a highly successful procedure aimed at removing infection and saving a severely damaged or decayed tooth.
During your initial consultation, our experienced dentist will thoroughly examine your tooth and discuss your symptoms and concerns. If a root canal treatment is recommended, we will explain the reasons behind it and answer any questions you may have.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
The root canal procedure involves accessing the inner part of the tooth, called the pulp, which contains the nerves and blood vessels. Our dentist will carefully remove the infected or inflamed pulp, clean the root canals, and shape them to create space for a special filling material. The canals are then sealed to prevent further infection.
After the root canal is completed, a temporary filling may be placed to protect the tooth until a permanent restoration, such as a dental crown, can be placed. This restoration helps to restore the tooth's strength, function, and aesthetics, ensuring a natural-looking and durable outcome.
Following the root canal treatment, it is normal to experience some mild discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Our dentist will provide you with specific post-treatment instructions to promote healing and minimize any potential complications. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene practices and attend regular dental check-ups to ensure the long-term success of the root canal treatment.
Our skilled team utilizes advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to deliver efficient and precise procedures. If you are experiencing dental pain or suspect that you may need a root canal treatment, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our experienced team.
