We prioritize your oral health and aim to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible, ensuring a healthier and brighter smile for years to come.
WHAT ARE ROOT CANAL THERAPY?
Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure designed to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. It involves removing the infected pulp from the inside of the tooth, disinfecting the area, and then sealing it to prevent further infection or decay. Root canal therapy is typically performed when the tooth's pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or trauma.
WHY MIGHT YOU NEED ROOT CANAL THERAPY?
Root canal therapy becomes necessary when the pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. Common signs that you may require root canal treatment include:
​
✔ Persistent Toothache: Severe and persistent toothache, especially when triggered by hot or cold substances, may indicate an infected tooth pulp.
✔ Sensitivity: Heightened sensitivity to temperature, particularly to hot or cold foods and beverages, can be a sign of pulp damage.
✔ Gum Swelling and Tenderness: Infection in the pulp can lead to gum swelling, tenderness, or the development of a small pimple-like bump near the affected tooth.
✔ Tooth Discoloration: A tooth that has become discolored or darkened may indicate underlying damage to the tooth's pulp.
✔ Deep Decay or Trauma: Teeth with deep cavities or those that have suffered significant trauma are at a higher risk of pulp infection and may require root canal therapy.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING ROOT CANAL THERAPY APPOINTMENT:
At EMM Dental Clinic, we strive to make your root canal therapy as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Here is an overview of the typical steps involved:
​
-
Examination and Diagnosis: Our experienced dentist will conduct a thorough examination, which may include digital X-rays, to evaluate the extent of the infection or damage to the tooth's pulp.
-
Local Anesthesia: Before beginning the procedure, local anesthesia will be administered to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the root canal treatment.
-
Pulp Removal: Using specialized instruments, our dentist will access the tooth's pulp chamber, carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp, and clean the area to eliminate any bacteria or debris.
-
Disinfection and Sealing: After cleaning the pulp chamber, the space is disinfected, and a rubber-like material called gutta-percha is used to fill and seal the canals to prevent reinfection.
-
Restoration: In most cases, a dental crown is placed on the treated tooth to provide strength, protection, and restore its natural appearance.
