2. What is a Root Canal Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth. When one undergoes a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed.

3. Signs and Symptoms that you need a Root Canal. • A constant and severe pain, a pressure in your mouth, or a noticeable swelling and extreme sensitivity in your gums is enough to tell you that you need an evaluation and treatment right away. • Another prominent symptom of pulp tissue damage is when you feel a sharp pain when you bite down on food. • A lingering pain after eating hot or cold foods is also an indication of potential trouble and should warrant a visit and exam by us.

4. Root Canal Treatment The procedure for root canal process begins the same way as the process for filling does, and you feel no discomfort at all. First of all, an anesthetic is administered to numb the tooth and the surrounding area, so you don’t feel any pain at all. Then, a hole is opened in the surface of the affected tooth to make the pulp chamber and root canals accessible. Tiny instruments are used to evacuate the dead and dying pulp tissue from inside these narrow holes which are known as the passageways.

5. After that, the chamber and empty canals are then cleaned up, disinfected, and prepared to be filled with inert, biocompatible material.  Then, adhesive cement follows; it is used to seal the opening made initially on the tooth to prevent future infection. To nurse the tooth and restore it to its natural form, it’s necessary to have a crown or other forms of restoration placed on it.  The restoration to be used can be of any form, from traditional gold crowns to  Bruxir crowns made to look like your original tooth.
