The words "root canal" tend to strike fear into the hearts of many, but the truth is that root canal therapy helps to support the oral health of patients in a number of ways. From relieving pain to removing
decay, root canals are an important part of many patients' dental care plans. At Complete Dental Care, we aim to make patients as comfortable and informed as possible so that they can have a positive root canal experience.
Root canal treatment helps to relieve pain, remove decay, and improve oral health. The procedure removes the damaged tissue, bacteria, and debris from inside the tooth, leaving a patient's mouth much healthier than before. This can help to improve the health of the tooth and make it more comfortable for the patient, sometimes even preventing the need for a
tooth extraction.
Although seeing a dentist is the best way to determine whether or not you need a root canal, there are some common signs that this may be the right procedure for you. They include:
If you need a root canal, there is no need to worry. The procedure is very common and is performed by dentists every day. Root canal therapy usually takes one or two visits to the dentist, and can be performed under local anesthesia. This means that you will be awake during the procedure but will not feel any pain.
During the first visit, the dentist will examine the tooth and take
X-rays to determine if a root canal is necessary. If a root canal is needed, the dentist will numb the area around the tooth and then access the inside of the tooth. The next step is to clean out the infected or damaged tissue, bacteria, and debris from inside the tooth. Once the tooth is clean, it will be sealed. In some cases, a temporary filling will be placed and the tooth will be left to heal for a few weeks. During the second visit, the permanent
filling or
crown will be placed.
