Root Canal Treatment

So, you are enjoying a meal, and suddenly, a sharp pain shoots through your tooth.

Can ignoring it help? No.

You try to ignore it, but the pain and discomfort lingers, turning every bite into a challenge and affecting your daily life, your mood, and even your favorite meals.

It might point to a deep decay or an infection that’s spreading to the roots of your tooth. If the infection worsens, it can lead to swelling, abscesses, or even tooth loss. The longer you wait, the harder it gets to save the tooth.

A Root Canal Treatment Can Save Your Tooth From Removal

Removing an aching tooth was a solution of yesteryears. At Dentalnook, we specialize in root canal treatments that save natural teeth and relieve pain for good. The procedure is straightforward, surprisingly comfortable, and helps preserve your natural tooth. Our team focuses on making the experience smooth and stress-free, using advanced techniques to ensure your comfort.

Root Canal Treatment Is A Clean-Shape-Seal Procedure

Clean

We examine your tooth, assess symptoms, and take an X-ray to evaluate the root canals and surrounding areas. After administering a small injection to ensure a pain-free experience, we isolate the tooth using a rubber dam to keep saliva away during the procedure. We remove decay, clean the pulp, and gain access to the root canals. If needed, we use an X-ray to measure the canal length.

Shape

We clean, disinfect, and shape the canals to prepare them for filling. If pus or infection is present, we allow it to drain, prescribe medication, and continue treatment once healing begins.

Seal

We then seal the canals with gutta-percha, a biocompatible filling material. Layers of gutta-percha are carefully placed and secured with binding cement. We place a filling in the pulp chamber and prepare the tooth for a crown. The crown is essential to protect the treated tooth from fractures and ensure long-term success.

Post-Treatment Care

• Avoid eating until numbness subsides to prevent accidental bites.
• Stick to soft foods initially and avoid chewing hard foods until your crown is placed.
• Handle the treated tooth gently during brushing.
• Follow up promptly to get your permanent crown to protect your tooth.
