Root canals have a reputation for being one of the most daunting procedures in dentistry, but they are also among the most misunderstood. Many people consider them „scary,“ but in reality, a root canal is a highly effective treatment that alleviates pain and saves your tooth.
When a tooth becomes infected, it is often due to the nerves within the root becoming compromised. These infected nerves must be removed to prevent further complications. If left untreated, the infection can lead to an abscess, which can cause more severe issues, including tooth loss and jawbone deterioration.
signs you might need a root canal treatment
- Severe toothache pain upon chewing or application of pressure
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures (after the heat or cold has been removed)
- Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
- Swelling and tenderness in nearby gums
- Persistent or recurring pimple on the gums
Don’t let the fear of a root canal prevent you from getting the treatment you need. Contact Dr. Mimoza today to schedule your consultation and experience top-quality dental care in a reassuring environment.
- Diagnosis and Consultation
- We begin with a thorough examination, including digital X-rays, to determine the extent of the infection or damage and confirm the need for a root canal.
- Anesthesia
- To ensure your comfort, we administer local anesthesia to numb the affected area, making the procedure virtually painless.
- Pulp Removal
- Using specialized instruments, we carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp from the inside of the tooth.
- Cleaning and Disinfection
- We meticulously clean and disinfect the root canals to eliminate any remaining bacteria and prevent future infection.
- Filling and Sealing
- The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha and sealed to prevent re-infection.
- Restoration
- In most cases, we place a crown on the treated tooth to restore its strength, functionality, and appearance. This final step ensures your tooth remains protected and functional for years to come.
