What is a Root Canal?
A Root Canal, or Endodontic Treatment, is a dental procedure designed to treat the infected or inflamed pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth). If left untreated, an infection in the pulp can lead to severe pain, abscesses, and even the loss of the tooth. Root canal treatment is a safe and effective solution to preserve the tooth and relieve pain.
During the procedure, we remove the damaged pulp, clean the inside of the tooth, and fill it with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. Afterward, the tooth is sealed and restored with a durable crown or filling, ensuring that it functions properly and blends seamlessly with your natural smile. Once the treatment is completed, you can expect your tooth to be free from sensitivity and restored to full function.
Why Do You Need a Root Canal?
There are several reasons why a tooth might need a root canal, including:
- Severe Tooth Pain: Often caused by an infection or damage to the pulp.
- Sensitivity to Hot or Cold: Persistent discomfort when consuming hot or cold foods and beverages.
- Swelling or Tenderness: Gum swelling or tenderness near the affected tooth.
- Tooth Discoloration: A darkened tooth, indicating potential damage or infection in the pulp.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential to consult with one of our experienced dentists at D on E Dental for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. A timely root canal can save your tooth and prevent the need for more invasive treatments like extractions.
Our Root Canal Process
At D on E Dental, we use the latest dental technologies and techniques to ensure that your Root Canal Treatment is as efficient and painless as possible. Here’s an overview of the process:
- Initial Consultation and Diagnosis: Our experienced team will thoroughly examine your tooth and take X-rays to assess the extent of the infection or damage. We’ll discuss your symptoms and recommend the best course of action.
- Cleaning and Disinfection: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and prevent further infection.
- Filling and Sealing: The cleaned root canal is filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha, and the tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection.
- Restoration: Finally, we place a crown or filling over the treated tooth to restore its structure and function. This ensures the tooth is protected and restored to full use.
