Carrying out a root canal is extremely important.
Our teeth are composed of dental enamel, dentin, and pulp. The outer layer is dental enamel, with dentin underneath. The pulp, located under the dentin, contains connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels.
If bacteria enter the pulp through a cavity, fracture, or trauma, an infection can occur. An infected tooth is very painful and may require extraction if left untreated.
Tooth loss can cause oral health problems like bone loss and shifting teeth. Root canal treatment can eliminate infection, preserve natural teeth, and improve oral health with less pain and faster recovery compared to extraction.
Indications that you might require a root canal treatment include:
The following signs may indicate an infected or abscessed tooth:
- Intense pain in the tooth
- Discomfort or swelling in the jaw
- Extreme sensitivity in the tooth
- A bump on the gum that looks like a pimple
- Gums that are swollen, red, or inflamed
- Potential bad taste or odor in the mouth
If you notice any of these signs and suspect a tooth infection, please contact our dental office in Batavia as soon as possible. A root canal infection requires prompt attention for your comfort and overall health and well-being. Visit us at Batavia.
What occurs during a root canal procedure?
Patients may feel anxious about root canals, but there is no need to fear as the procedure is not frightening. Our dentists use advanced 3-D cone-beam (CBCT) imaging to carefully plan your treatment, allowing them to see the tooth from all angles.
This 3-D view helps our dentists assess the tooth's structure accurately and customize the procedure accordingly. When combined with anesthesia, this cutting-edge technology greatly improves patient comfort and the final result. Patients usually feel significant relief right after the procedure.
We guarantee your comfort.
If you experience anxiety about dental procedures, we have the perfect solution for you. Our oral sedation technique will help you stay calm during your treatment. We also provide neck pillows, blankets, and TVs in our treatment rooms to enhance your comfort and well-being.
Before beginning the procedure, our dentist will administer a powerful local anesthetic to numb the tooth, ensuring a pain-free experience. If you are in discomfort when you arrive at our clinic, you can expect immediate relief once the tooth is numbed! Renew your smile with our exceptional root canal therapy at Randall Pointe Dental.
