Do I Need Root Canal Therapy?
The only way to determine if you require root canal therapy is to meet with one of our qualified team members who can thoroughly examine your mouth with the help of fully enhanced dental imaging.
Since this type of treatment requires the removal of any infected or damaged pulp inside your tooth, it’s important that we evaluate and prepare a plan quickly. Doing so will ensure the problem does not spread.
However, before you schedule an appointment with a member of our team, you may want to know what you should look for that might indicate the need for this type of treatment. If you discover any of the following signs, call our office right away:
- Persistent tooth pain
- A small pimple or bump that forms near the affected tooth, on the gums
- Enhanced tooth sensitivity
- Swollen or discolored gum tissue
- A damaged or significantly cracked tooth
The Root Canal Process
No root canal is performed without our team administering local anesthesia. This ensures that you remain completely numb throughout the procedure. Once satisfied, we’ll isolate the tooth with a latex dental dam to prevent moisture from reaching the affected area. When ready, we’ll make a small opening in the crown of the tooth and start to move the pulp while clearing our nearby chambers and root canals.
Once this is finished, we’ll fill the previously occupied space with biocompatible gutta-percha. This delivers the stability the tooth needs while it heals from the inside. After sealing the tooth off from further reinfection, a custom crown will be crafted and bonded into place after several weeks. This will give your tooth the protection it needs against future harm.
The Benefits of Getting a Root Canal
It may be hard to imagine the benefits of a root canal, but believe it or not, there are many. Apart from getting rid of the pain-causing pulp, this type of treatment also allows you to keep your natural tooth for years to come. By using some of the most advanced dental technologies and equipment available, there is no need for extraction when we can save your tooth with root canal treatment. Also, this procedure ensures that you’ll be able to resume eating, speaking, and smiling without any fear of discomfort, embarrassment, or uncertainty.
