It may be extremely painful to sleep with a toothache troubling. But most of the times people feel afraid of the root canal treatment due to the pain it entails. At our clinic, we have expert root canal treatment dentists who can treat you with utmost care so that you can feel no much pain and get back to your happy night's sleep.
ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Endodontics (Root Canal Therapy): Root canal therapy is necessary when a tooth is infected and will not heal on its own.
Symptoms include pain when biting and chewing, the sensitivity with hot and cold, and constant aching and discomfort.
A lot of people are intimidated when they hear the word “root canal”, but at our office, there is no need to be afraid.
Most general dentists will refer you to an Endodontic specialist, and in some complex cases we may need to refer you to an Endodontist too, but the majority of the time we can take care of this problem for you. This will save you time and extra doctor’s visits.
Root Canal Procedure: The root canal system is composed of nerves and blood vessels that supply nutrients and feeling to the tooth itself. These structures are housed in a small chamber, or canal, within the tooth. When these structures are disrupted due to infection or trauma, they must be removed; the canal area is then cleaned and sealed.
Symptoms or signs that a root canal is needed: severe pain, sensitivity to cold and hot, abscess, and in some cases no symptoms at all exist.
Root canal treatment is an instant pain reliever and the best treatment to retain the original teeth. A Root canal treated tooth serves its purpose and function just as a healthy tooth. Root canal treatment has traditionally consisted of multiple visits to the dentist. However, with recent advances in research and instruments, we are now able to perform thorough root canal treatment more efficiently in a few visits. We treat one patient at a time and usually block off one hour for most teeth. The advanced technology at our clinic includes Rotary machine, Apex locators for Root Canal, and Digital X-Ray for diagnosis.
