Resolve Tooth Pain and Restore Your Oral Health with Root Canal Therapy

Have you ever wondered what’s inside your tooth? Beneath the visible outer covering—the enamel—lies the dental pulp that houses nerves, blood vessels, and other connective tissues. Your tooth internals become inflamed or infected when you have dental trauma or infection. Unfortunately, antibiotics or natural body immunity can’t cure this tooth infection.

A root canal eliminates infection within the tooth by removing the diseased pulp tissue. This not only relieves pain but also saves your tooth from extraction.

For many people, root canal treatment may cause anxiety. Dentistry has come a long way, and modern root canals are nothing to worry about. Thanks to powerful anesthetics and gentle procedures, our root canals are no more painful than a cavity treatment.

The procedure starts with administering local anesthetics. We’ll only proceed with treatment when the numbing takes effect. Then, we’ll isolate your tooth with a rubber dam to prevent saliva contamination. The next step is to create an access hole in your tooth, which we’ll use to flush out the diseased pulp chamber.

Next, it’s time to clear and sanitize your empty chamber and canals to remove all traces of harmful bacteria. Instead of using manual instruments, we use the GentleWave®Procedure. This system uses fluid dynamics to debride and disinfect even the tiniest crevices that manual tools can’t reach.

After thorough hygiene care, the doctor fills your tooth with a rubbery gutta-percha material to prevent future infections. Finally, we will seal the access hole with a dental filling, but if your tooth is significantly weakened, we’ll restore it with a dental crown.
