Restore Your Oral Health and Save Your Natural Teeth Today
Root canal treatment is a procedure designed to save a severely infected or damaged tooth.
It’s crucial for preserving your natural teeth, preventing further infection, and avoiding tooth extraction.
Common misconceptions, like root canals being painful, will be solved during your visit.
Modern root canal procedures are typically no more uncomfortable than getting a routine filling. With the use of local anesthesia, patients should feel little to no pain during the procedure.
The duration of a root canal procedure depends on the complexity of the case, such as the number of roots involved and the severity of infection or damage. On average, a root canal can take one to two hours per tooth.
During a root canal, your dentist will numb the area with local anesthesia, remove the infected or damaged tissue from the tooth’s interior, clean and disinfect the root canals, and fill them with a biocompatible material, and crown in some cases to improve your tooth’s strength.
After a root canal procedure, it’s essential to practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly, avoiding hard or sticky foods, and attending follow-up appointments as recommended by your dentist. A crown may also be placed to protect and strengthen the treated tooth.
