Root Canal Treatments
Root canal treatments are an effective solution to save teeth that are severely damaged or infected, allowing you to maintain your natural smile and avoid the need for extraction. At our clinic, we provide comfortable and precise root canal procedures to relieve pain and restore dental health.
What is a Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage in the tooth’s pulp – the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, trauma, or cracks, a root canal is often the best option to save the tooth.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may need a root canal treatment:
Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent, throbbing pain in your tooth, especially when chewing or applying pressure.
Sensitivity: Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, even after the sensation has been removed.
Swelling and Tenderness: Swelling around the gums, or tenderness near the affected tooth.
Discoloration: Darkening of the tooth, indicating possible nerve damage.
Recurring Abscesses: Frequent gum pimples or pus discharge around a tooth could signal an underlying infection.
The Root Canal Procedure
Our root canal treatments are performed with care and precision to ensure minimal discomfort and effective results.
Diagnosis & Anesthesia: We first examine the affected tooth with X-rays and other diagnostic tools. Once confirmed, local anesthesia is applied to numb the area and ensure a pain-free experience.
Cleaning & Removal: We carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp from the inside of the tooth, cleaning the root canals to eliminate any bacteria.
Filling & Sealing: After the canals are cleaned and shaped, we fill and seal the tooth to prevent further infection.
Restoration: In most cases, a crown is placed on the treated tooth to restore its strength and functionality, providing a natural appearance and protecting it from future damage.
Why Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatments offer several benefits:
Pain Relief: The procedure alleviates the pain caused by infection or inflammation, restoring comfort.
Saves Your Tooth: By treating the infection, a root canal allows you to keep your natural tooth rather than requiring extraction.
Restores Functionality: A treated tooth can function like a natural one, enabling you to eat, speak, and smile without discomfort.
Aftercare and Recovery
Post-treatment care is vital for a successful recovery. Mild discomfort after the procedure is normal, but it can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you protect your tooth and ensure proper healing.
