If an infection has damaged the nerve or blood supply of a tooth, root canal treatment is your best option to preserve it. Our dentists will go above and beyond to ensure that your procedure is successful. Rest assured they are committed to providing you with the highest level of care possible.
Each tooth houses a soft tissue called dental pulp, which holds the blood vessels and nerve fibres necessary for your oral health. Yet, when bacteria invade this space and cause an infection, you will need to seek out a root canal treatment to remedy it.
Our mission is to make sure that all of our patients feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible during their visit. We understand how nerve-wracking it can be to go through a root canal, which is why we offer sedation services for those who request them. Our dentists are incredibly patient and gentle -they always strive to provide the best care while ensuring each patient’s safety and well-being. At our practice, we believe that dental treatment doesn’t have to come with pain or fear; this has been the guiding principle behind our customer service since day one!
Completing a root canal procedure typically requires two visits to the dentist. At your first visit, your dentist will remove all infected tissue from the tooth and secure it with a temporary filling. The second visit involves removing that transitory filling and replacing it with one that is permanent in nature. If necessary, we may also recommend protecting the compromised tooth by placing a crown over it.
The aim of the treatment is to completely get rid of the infection from the tooth. As this process can be complex, it will typically require two or more visits with a dentist for successful completion.
To ensure that your teeth remain healthy and strong, it is important to take care of them after the treatment area has healed. Brushing, flossing regularly, eating nutritious foods, and visiting the dentist consistently are all essential steps in this process. By doing so you will reduce the possibility of needing another root canal down the line!
