What is a Root Canal?

If the soft pulp tissue of one of your teeth becomes infected, our dentist may need to perform a root canal. Commonly called a root canal, root canal treatment is a type of endodontic therapy that is often recommended if the tooth pulp and nerves become infected or damaged. This may occur if injury or decay reaches deep into the tooth, past the outer enamel layer. When left untreated, this type of infection and disease may cause the tooth to die and necessitate tooth extraction.

Do Root Canals Hurt?

No, having a root canal is just as comfortable and convenient as receiving a cavity filling. Once your dental crown is placed, you may experience some tooth sensitivity or discomfort when you bite or chew until your mouth completely heals. This should pass within a day or two.

During a root canal treatment, we will do everything we can to help make sure that you’re relaxed. We offer local anesthesia to numb your tooth and make your procedure as pain- and worry-free as possible. Our team also offers dental sedation options for your comfort.

What Can I Expect During a Root Canal?

Our team will take digital X-rays to assess the tooth’s condition and plan your procedure. To restore the health of the tooth and avoid the need for extraction, our skilled dentist will remove the infected and injured tissues from within the tooth, clean the tooth, and fill it with a medicated material. Our dentist will then cap the tooth with a restoration, such as a dental crown, to return the tooth to its original shape and structure. In most cases, a root canal can be completed in only one or two comfortable visits to our office.

Setting the crown is an easy and relatively quick procedure. We use a bonding agent that cements the crown in place. The permanent crown will look and feel natural.

Do I Need a Root Canal?

Do you think you might need a root canal? Here are signs and symptoms to look for:

Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
Severe toothache
Drainage in the gums around the tooth
An abscess (pimple) on the gums

Instead of Getting a Root Canal, Can We Pull the Tooth?

We can, but our first priority is to save the tooth and keep your smile complete. Having a full smile not only ensures a healthy bite, but it helps maintain your appearance and self-esteem. Getting root canal treatment can also keep you from having to receive a costlier implant, bridge, or denture to replace that tooth later.
