Root canal therapy, often surrounded by myths and misconceptions, is a highly effective and routine dental procedure aimed at preserving your natural teeth. At Trinity Dental & Centennial Dental, our experienced team is dedicated to providing you with expert root canal treatments that prioritize both your comfort and oral health.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to treat and save a tooth that has a severely infected or damaged pulp—the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels. The treatment involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing the space to prevent future infections.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal:
Severe Toothache
Persistent, severe pain in a specific tooth.
Prolonged Sensitivity
Increased sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures that lingers after the stimuli is removed.
Swollen Gums
Swelling or tenderness in the gums near a specific tooth.
Darkening of the Tooth
Discoloration or darkening of a tooth, indicating possible internal damage.
The Root Canal Procedure:
Assessment
Our skilled dentists will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to determine the extent of the infection.
Treatment Plan
If a root canal is recommended, a customized treatment plan will be discussed with you, addressing any concerns or questions you may have.
Procedure
During the procedure, the infected pulp is removed, and the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and sealed.
Restoration
In most cases, a tooth that undergoes a root canal will need a crown to restore its strength and protect it from further damage.
