What Is Root Canal Therapy?
This treatment is designed to remove the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth. When the pulp of a tooth becomes infected from deep cracks, decay, or trauma, it causes pain. Infection can also cause tooth sensitivity, making it hard to eat or drink without pain.
Other symptoms include persistent toothache, swelling of the gums, and discoloration of the tooth. If you experience these symptoms, then you may want to see our dentist to determine if root canal therapy is recommended.
Our Approach to Root Canal Therapy
Most dental offices offer root canal therapy, but they do not have the expertise, technology, or comfort that Molina Dentistry has. Our dental office is different for the following reasons:
Comprehensive Evaluation
To make sure that this treatment is right for you and will address your needs, we will complete a thorough examination, including X-rays and imaging to give you personalized care. This evaluation will determine the extent of the damage to the tooth and determine how to move forward.
Patient Comfort is Our Priority
With any dental treatment, we want to make sure that our patients are comfortable and are getting personalized care. During a root canal, we numb the affected area and offer sedation options so you do not feel any pain.
If you have dental anxiety or are worried about feeling pain, we will address any of your concerns so you can rest assured that we will come up with solutions to help you.
Precision and Expertise
With the help of the latest technology and techniques, we perform root canal therapy with precise and accurate care. We have an experienced team that excels in this treatment allowing for a thorough and effective result.
Advantages of Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy involves removing infected pulp, alleviating pain, and safeguarding teeth, making it an indispensable dental procedure. Thus, the benefits of root canal therapy surpass the advantages of other dental treatments because of its tooth-saving properties. Some of the benefits of root canal therapy are:
- Preservation of natural teeth
- Pain relief
- Improved oral health
If you want any of these benefits and to alleviate symptoms, then call Molina Dentistry and set up an appointment!
The Root Canal Therapy Process
Root canal therapy can sound scary, but our dental office will walk you through every step to make your treatment a breeze. First, we will start with a diagnosis to determine the treatment plan. The area will be numbed and sedation administered to ensure a painless experience.
The dentist will then create a small opening in the tooth, allowing direct access to the infected pulp. Using special dental instruments, the dentist will carefully remove the infected or inflamed pulp, and once the canals are cleaned and shaped, the dentist will seal the space and protect the tooth.
After the treatment is finished, the tooth will be restored to its full functionality, using either a dental crown or filling. This will enhance the appearance of your smile and strengthen the tooth.
