Preserve your natural tooth and alleviate pain with root canal therapy, expertly performed by our dentist and compassionate dental team here at Lakeside Family Dental Care. Root canal therapy is a highly effective treatment designed to save a tooth that has been severely damaged by decay, disease, or injury. By removing the infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, we can prevent the spread of infection and restore the tooth’s health, allowing you to maintain your natural smile, biting force, and sensation.
Root Canal Treatment: Comfortable, Pain-Free, and Stress-Free
The thought of a root canal may cause anxiety, but with advances in dental techniques and anesthesia, the procedure is now as comfortable as getting a filling. Our team prioritizes your comfort and will guide you through the process with care and empathy, ensuring a positive and pain-free experience.
What to Expect During Root Canal Therapy:
- Thorough Examination: Our dentist will conduct a detailed assessment, including X-rays, to determine the extent of the infection and plan the treatment.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the tooth and surrounding area, ensuring you feel no discomfort during the procedure.
- Infection Removal: A small opening is made in the crown of the tooth to access and remove the infected or inflamed pulp. The inside of the tooth is then carefully cleaned and disinfected.
- Filling and Sealing: The cleaned canal space is filled and sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent further infection.
- Restoration: Depending on the extent of the damage, the tooth may require a filling or crown to restore its shape, appearance, and functionality.
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy include:
- Pain Relief: Eliminates the pain caused by pulp infection or inflammation, improving your overall comfort and quality of life.
- Tooth Preservation: Allows you to keep your natural tooth, maintaining your oral health and avoiding the need for tooth extraction and replacement.
- Infection Prevention: Removes bacteria from the infected root canal, preventing reinfection of the tooth and spreading of infection to other teeth.
- Efficient and Cost-Effective: Root canal therapy is a cost-effective way to treat teeth with damaged pulp and is usually less expensive than extraction and replacement with an implant or bridge.
