A root canal is an in-office dental procedure where your dentist carefully removes your infected tooth pulp and replaces it with a special biocompatible material. Dente provides root canals to help you maintain optimal appearance of your tooth and save your tooth structure.
You need your tooth pulp for growth and development, but once your tooth has fully matured, you no longer need the tooth pulp and it’s always a safer option to remove it.
During your regular professional dental checkup and cleaning at Dente, your dentist can check if you have infected tooth pulp using an X-ray, even if you don’t have any symptoms. You might need a root canal if you have certain signs or symptoms, such as:
If you’re experiencing symptoms or have concerns, it’s best to visit Dente.
At Dente, your dentist typically performs root canal procedures under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel much during the procedure. For a few days after your root canal therapy, you might have some sensitivity and soreness in the area. You can take over-the-counter pain medications to help relieve any discomfort.
If you have pain for more than a few days, you should contact Dente. Your root canal should get rid of any pain from your infected tooth root after the healing process is complete.
At Dente, molars, premolars, and anterior teeth can be addressed in-office without the need for an outside referral.
With a root canal, your dentist numbs the area around your infected tooth and makes a small hole in your tooth. After removing any signs of infection, your dentist kills any bacteria inside using a special dental solution.
Your dentist uses a rubbery dental material to fill in the area where the infected pulp was before sealing the site to finish your root canal therapy.
At Dente, your dentist might fit your root canal with a beautiful crown to protect the vulnerable area. Dente also utilizes laser dentistry to give you the best possible dental care.
With a root canal, the total appointment time is usually two hours divided into two easy visits.
