What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage within the pulp of a tooth. This treatment involves removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and then sealing it to prevent further infection. Root canal therapy can relieve pain and save your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may need a root canal:
- Severe toothache when chewing or applying pressure
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
- Swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums
- A persistent or recurring pimple on the gums
If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to seek dental care promptly to avoid further complications.
Our Root Canal Procedure
At Proud Smiles, we utilize advanced techniques and technology to ensure your root canal treatment is as efficient and painless as possible. Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:
- Initial Examination: Dr. Patel will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of the infection or damage.
- Local Anesthesia: We will administer local anesthesia to numb the affected area and ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
- Removing the Pulp: Dr. Patel will create a small opening in the tooth to access and remove the infected or damaged pulp.
- Cleaning and Shaping: The inside of the tooth will be carefully cleaned and shaped to prepare it for filling.
- Filling and Sealing: The cleaned space will be filled with a biocompatible material, and the tooth will be sealed to prevent future infection.
