What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment, also called root canal therapy, is a dental procedure that eliminates infected tissue from a tooth and protects it from further infection. When your tooth's outer protective layer, called enamel, is compromised by damage or decay, it can create a channel for bacteria to enter its pulp chamber and infect it. If left untreated, your tooth's infection can spread to surrounding teeth and create a more significant problem.

The procedure begins by anesthetizing the area around your tooth and using a specialized instrument to remove inflamed tissue from your root canals. From there, Dr. Tadros will fill your root canals with anti-bacterial material to seal the area and help prevent it from being infected in the future. We'll then take detailed impressions to create a custom crown, which will be delivered at a second appointment.

5 Signs of Tooth Infection

It's vital that you understand the signs of an infected tooth. If you notice any sign of tooth infection, you should reach out to our practice immediately, as the sooner we treat it, the better. Dr. Tadros and his dental team will help break down what to look for, as some signs are more subtle and difficult to notice than others. Some of the most common signs of tooth infection include:

  1. Increasing sensitivity to hot or cold food and beverages.
  2. Throbbing pain when applying pressure to your tooth.
  3. Swelling and inflammation of the gums around your tooth.
  4. Darkening of your tooth's enamel.
  5. Abscesses on your gums.

Root Canal Treatment FAQs

It's normal to have various questions about our Middle Village root canal surgery, and we encourage you to ask any that come to mind. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff is here to answer your questions and provide you with the valuable information you need. Some frequently asked questions about our root canal treatment include:

How do I avoid the need for root canal treatment?

It's crucial that you maintain proper oral care to help prevent tooth infections. Our dental office recommends that you regularly brush and floss your teeth while also visiting our practice for regular dental exams. In addition, our dentist may recommend reducing your intake of sugary and acidic foods, as both can erode your tooth's protective enamel and provide an opening for bacteria.

Root canal therapy has an unfair reputation for being more painful than it is. However, with advancements in root canal technology and techniques, you can expect little discomfort. We may recommend over-the-counter pain medication depending on your pain level following the procedure.

Yes. Although root canal treatment is an effective procedure, there may be instances where retreatment is necessary. Our practice is here to perform retreatments, even if you're coming to our office from another.

At Bright Smile Dentistry, one of our greatest goals is to save your natural teeth whenever possible. However, depending on the severity of your tooth's infection, extraction may be the best option available. You can breathe easy knowing that if your tooth does need to be extracted, we'll do it as efficiently as possible.
