Root Canals

WHAT IS A ROOT CANAL?

Inside every adult-tooth is a small amount of tooth pulp. When teeth are young and growing, this pulp is important; adult teeth, however, no longer need it.

It’s fairly common for this tooth pulp to become infected, especially after the exterior of a tooth is cracked or damaged. When the pulp suffers an infection, a root canal can often solve the problem and alleviate your toothache.

The process generally goes as follows:

• Meet with us to determine the cause of your pain, and whether a root canal is right for you. We can also discuss how to keep you comfortable during your root canal procedure.

• At your appointment, your dentist will carefully remove the infected pulp from the damaged tooth.

• Once the pulp is gone, your dentist will sterilize the empty space left behind and pack it with a biocompatible material to prevent any further infection.

• You can go home and enjoy eating, smiling, and speaking without pain!

DO I NEED A ROOT CANAL?

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, a root canal might be the solution:

• Pain when biting down.

• Severe toothaches.

• Temperature sensitivity.

• Tooth discoloration.

• Swollen gums around the tooth.

• Dental abscess.

If you’ve been dealing with any of these conditions or any level of tooth pain, come and speak with us about a solution!

BENEFITS OF ROOT CANALS

Root canals will not only get rid of tooth pain but can improve your appearance and chewing ability. 

A tooth infection can discolor your tooth. Successful root canal procedures can result in a better-looking tooth once the infection is completely cleared out. An infected tooth is incredibly painful, which makes chewing a nightmare. Once we clear out the infection, you can chew comfortably again as you enjoy your favorite foods.

By banishing the swelling, discoloration, and pain that comes with a tooth infection, you’ll look better and experience more comfortable meals.

Relief from severe tooth pain is an incredible benefit, but there is another excellent reason to undergo a root canal procedure. We can save your tooth!

Infected teeth often need to be extracted, which has a negative impact on your oral health. We try to save your teeth whenever we can to save you from the harmful effects of tooth loss, and this procedure is a great way to do so!
