When You May Need a Root Canal
A root canal may be necessary when the pulp inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental work. You may experience sensitivity to hot or cold, have a persistent toothache, or swelling. When left untreated, the infection can spread, and the tooth may eventually be lost. A root canal can halt this process and restore comfort and function.
Our Approach to Root Canals
Just like all our services, our root canal therapy is delivered with empathy and care. Dr. Costa and our team take the time to answer your questions, explain each step clearly, and ensure your comfort at every stage. Through local anesthesia, you can relax knowing your procedure will be as smooth as possible.
ABOUT OUR OFFICE
What to Expect During Treatment
- Step 1: Your tooth is numbed, and a protective rubber dam is placed to keep the area clean and dry.
- Step 2: The diseased pulp and bacteria are gently removed, and the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and shaped.
- Step 3: The canals are sealed with a filling to prevent further infection.
- Step 4: In many cases, a restoration, such as a crown, is placed to protect the remaining tooth structure and restore function.
The Benefits of Timely Root Canals
This treatment not only alleviates pain, but also helps prevent the need for more extensive procedures like extractions, implants, or bridges down the line.
