What is Root Canal Treatment?
Now, people used to think that root canals were the most painful thing in the world.
But the truth is, modern techniques have made it so we can do this whole thing with almost no discomfort for most folks.
We give you a good numbing and if that’s not enough, we’re happy to give you some extra aneasthetic or even offer up some breaks if you need ’em. Your comfort is always our top priority.
The Root Canal Process
Scoop out the infected pulp
Through a root canal procedure, we carefully scoop out the infected pulp from inside the tooth, down below the gum line.
Clean the canals
From there, we thoroughly clean the canals – removing any lingering bacteria and then fill them with a special kind of medicated goo to help get rid of any remaining bugs.
Seal canals
And to finish it off, we seal them up to stop any future infection from occurring.
Put a crown
After a short little recovery time – usually about one week – we put a crown on the tooth to give it back its strength and functionality.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
- One of the most common ones is a sudden, intense toothache
- Also, if you get pain when biting or chewing
- Or if you find new or increased sensitivity to hot or cold
- Your tooth just started to look all dark and dirty
- Your gums got all swollen or tender
- Even if a little pimple like bump showed up on the gums (abscess)
