How Can a Root Canal Help Me?
We provide root canal therapy for patients experiencing a severely infected or damaged tooth interior. The inside of teeth contains a soft tissue called pulp. Pulp can become infected due to chips, cracks, and exposure. If left untreated, it can lead to severe and worsening pain and suffering and conditions like abscesses. If your pulp is infected, we can perform a root canal to save the tooth and relieve your pain and discomfort.
How Does a Root Canal Work?
We will first take X-rays to assess the extent of the infection or damage. You'll be given a numbing agent to keep you relaxed and comfortable during the procedure. Then, we'll make a tiny opening on the top of the tooth and carefully remove the pulp. After the procedure, we'll cleanse and sanitize the mouth to protect it and to make you feel refreshed. Once cleaned, we will fill the empty canal with a filler and seal it for added protection.
Caring for Yourself After a Root Canal
Some discomfort and sensitivity are typical for the first few days. We recommend avoiding chewing on the treated tooth until your final restoration is placed. Be careful around the tooth when brushing and flossing to avoid pain and discomfort. It’s important to attend any follow-up appointments to ensure the tooth heals properly and to place a permanent crown or filling. Regular checkups will enable your dentist to monitor the root canal and its progress.
