If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain or sensitivity, a root canal may be the solution to preserving your tooth and maintaining oral health.
What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage within the pulp of a tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected due to decay or injury, it can cause severe pain and may lead to further complications. During a root canal, the infected pulp is removed, and the space is cleaned and sealed to prevent further infection. The tooth is then restored with a crown to ensure its strength and function.
The Root Canal Procedure
The root canal procedure is designed to be as comfortable as possible, and our team takes great care to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. Here’s an overview of the process:
- Consultation & Diagnosis: During your initial visit, we will examine the affected tooth and take X-rays to assess the extent of the damage or infection. We will discuss the treatment options and answer any questions you may have.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring you experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.
- Removal of the Infected Pulp: The dentist will create a small access hole in the tooth to remove the infected pulp. The space inside the tooth is then thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate any remaining bacteria.
- Sealing the Tooth: After cleaning, the empty pulp chamber is filled with a biocompatible material to seal the tooth and prevent future infection. In some cases, a temporary filling is placed to protect the tooth until the permanent restoration is applied.
- Restoration: Once the tooth is healed, a dental crown is placed over the tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
