Root Canal Therapy for Tooth Preservation
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy:
1. Prevent Tooth Loss
2. Relief from Pain and Discomfort
3. Cost-Effective Tooth Preservation
4. Preserve Natural Tooth Structure
An endodontic procedure helps to preserve the natural structure of your tooth. During the procedure, the infected pulp is removed and the area is sealed off, but the remaining tooth structure remains intact. The procedure also helps to protect your other teeth from damage or decay by preventing bacteria from spreading.
How Does Root Canal Work?
During a root canal, our dentist will perform an examination of your tooth and surrounding gums. This helps us to determine the extent of the infection and plan the best course of treatment for you. We will then apply a local anesthetic to ensure that you remain comfortable during the procedure. Once the area is numb, we will use special tools to access the infected pulp and remove it from the tooth. After the infected tissue is removed, we will clean and fill the area with an antibiotic solution to prevent further infection. Finally, we will place a filling in the area to seal off the root canals and restore the health of your tooth.
After your procedure is complete, it’s important to practice good dental hygiene habits in order to prevent future issues and maintain healthy teeth for life. This includes brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and visiting our dental team for regular checkups and cleanings.
