What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure where the infected or decayed pulp is removed from the tooth chamber to prevent the spread of infection and protect your oral health. If your tooth has been cracked or developed a large cavity, then bacteria can enter your tooth structure and cause an infection in the tissue and nerves inside of your tooth, known as the pulp.
As the infection gets worse, you will experience pain in your tooth or jaw, and you may find an abscess at the base of your tooth. Root canal treatment is essential to save your natural tooth structure and prevent the infection from entering your blood stream and causing problems to your overall health.
Do I Need Root Canal Therapy?
If you have a toothache, you may be wondering if it's an indication of an infection that requires root canal therapy. If you experience intermittent pain that is not extreme and does not interrupt your daily life, then you may not require this procedure, but you should contact our office for a dental exam. However, if you experience any of the following symptoms, then it's best to see our team as soon as possible.
Tooth Pain: If you have consistent, throbbing pain in your tooth or jaw or pain that makes it difficult to focus, chew, or speak, then you may have an infection that requires treatment.
Sensitivity to Heat or Cold: If your teeth have become increasingly sensitive to hot or cold foods and beverages, then it may be an indication that the nerves in your tooth are infected.
Bad Taste: If you have noticed a constant bad taste in your mouth that remains even after brushing and flossing your teeth, it may be a sign of an infection.
Abscess on the Gums: If you see an abscess or pimple on your gums or pus at the base of your tooth, then you should contact our dental practice in Brentwood right away.
Our Root Canal Therapy Process
The moment you step into our dental practice, you know that you are a priority. Our team believes that great dental care is about quality treatments as well as your peace of mind. That is why we make it a point to create a soothing environment and ask questions and actively listen to you to fully understand your situation.
Once you're seated in the dentist's chair, we will perform a gentle and thorough exam of your teeth, jaws, and gums and collect detailed images of your mouth to verify the extent of the infection. We will use this information to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to you, your unique situation, and your lifestyle. We encourage you to share your concerns and questions and we are happy to provide the answers and information you need to feel confident in your treatment plan.
Our gentle dentist will numb the affected area to maximize your comfort, then make a tiny access point in your tooth and carefully extract the diseased pulp. He will fill the tooth chamber with an antibacterial solution to prevent further infection and seal the access point. A dental crown will be placed over your natural tooth to provide additional strength and protection. You will be able to walk out of our office ready to get back to living your life.
