Root Canal Treatment Isn’t As Scary

As You Think!

 

 

 

 

Root canal – two words that strike fear

at the very mention despite the fact most

can’t answer the question,

“What is root canal treatment?” Most people

hear the words “root canal” and think “pain”,

but done correctly, a root canal actually

relieves pain.

 

 

 

 

 

Why would I need a root canal?

When the pulp of your tooth is infected,

it can become extremely painful,

often causing intense discomfort, pressure,

tenderness and swelling in the gums,

and even a dangerous abscess in the area

of the tooth. Root canal treatment can save

the tooth and stop the pain. So it is very

important to have regular dental checkups

and to seek treatment as soon as you

notice that something is wrong.

 

 

 

 

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is the entire process

of diagnosing the need for, conducting

the procedure, and doing follow-up

dental care to reduce your pain,

save your teeth, and improve your

dental health. The goal of root canal

treatment is to save the tooth, which means

you can get back to enjoying the food

you love without pain. The entire process

often includes a few visits(1 to 3 visits),

and with our fine optical microscope,

it is even faster and more effective

than ever before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Will it Hurt?

 

With all of the local anesthetic injection

techniques available, the patient should

not experience discomfort during this

procedure. There may be some discomfort

following the treatment that is usually

managed with over the counter medication.

In reality, it is the pain associated with the

diseased pulp tissue that produces more

discomfort than the actual procedure.

 

Often a patient will notice tooth pain,

extreme temperature sensitivity

in the tooth, swelling and soreness,

and even discoloration in an infected tooth.
