Why would I need Root canal treatment?

A root canal is among the most frequently performed dental procedures, with over 14 million conducted annually. This straightforward treatment can preserve your natural teeth and avoid the necessity for dental implants or bridges.

Inside your tooth lies the pulp, a cluster of blood vessels that contribute to tooth formation. The pulp can become infected due to trauma, deep decay, cracks and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Signs of infection may include visible injury or swelling of the tooth, temperature sensitivity, or pain in the tooth and gums.

Step-by-Step Root Canal Procedure:

 

  • If you experience certain symptoms, your dentist may recommend non-surgical treatment to remove the infected pulp.
  • The damaged pulp is removed, and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed.
  • The procedure may be completed in one or more visits, depending on the required treatment.
  • The success rate for this treatment is approximately 90%.
  • If your tooth cannot undergo endodontic treatment or if the likelihood of success is low, your dentist will inform you during the consultation or if complications arise during or after the procedure.
  • Local anesthesia is typically used to eliminate discomfort during the procedure.
  • You will most likely be able to drive home after the treatment and feel comfortable resuming normal activities.

FAQ's

What happens after treatment?

When your root canal therapy has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist. You should contact their office for a follow-up restoration within a few weeks of completion at our office. Your restorative dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth. It is rare for endodontic patients to experience complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery. If a problem does occur, however, we are always available to respond. To prevent further decay, continue to practice good dental hygiene.

The cost associated with this procedure can vary depending on factors such as the severity of damage to the affected tooth and which tooth is affected. In general, endodontic treatment is much less expensive than tooth removal and replacement with an artificial tooth.
