Root Canal Treatment: Save the Tooth, Don't Extract It
Root canal treatment has a frightening reputation that it does not deserve. With modern techniques and proper anesthesia, most patients experience less discomfort than they would with a routine filling. Most importantly, root canal treatment can save your natural tooth instead of extracting it.
When Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?
Severe, persistent tooth pain or pain that wakes you up at night.
Pain when pressure is applied to the tooth or while chewing.
Swelling or an abscess around the tooth.
Dark discoloration of the tooth.
A fractured tooth where the crack has reached the pulp.
Deep decay that has reached the dental pulp.
How Is Root Canal Treatment Performed?
01
Effective Local Anesthesia
The area is fully numbed so you should not feel pain during the procedure.
02
Tooth Isolation
A rubber dam is used to isolate the tooth and maintain a clean treatment area.
03
Cleaning the Canals
The infected pulp is removed and the root canals are carefully cleaned.
04
Shaping and Disinfection
The canals are shaped and thoroughly disinfected before they are sealed.
05
Filling the Canals
The canals are filled with a permanent biocompatible material to seal and protect them.
06
Protective Crown
A protective crown may be placed to strengthen the tooth and protect it over the long term.
Can a Previously Treated Root Canal Be Retreated?
Yes, root canal retreatment is possible.
If a previous root canal treatment has failed or a new infection develops, the canals can be reopened, cleaned, disinfected, and filled again. This is a common situation that we manage regularly.
