ROOT CANAL THERAPY

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure that is used to save a tooth that has become infected or damaged. It involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from the inside of the tooth and then filling and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection. At Simply Results Dentistry, we offer root canal therapy to our patients who are experiencing tooth pain or have been diagnosed with an infected or damaged tooth. Our experienced dentists will carefully assess your tooth and determine if root canal therapy is the best treatment option for you. The root canal therapy process typically involves the following steps: 1. Numbing the tooth: Before beginning the procedure, our dentist will numb the area around the affected tooth to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free during the treatment. 2. Removing the infected or damaged pulp: Our dentist will create a small opening in the top of the tooth to access the pulp chamber. The infected or damaged pulp will then be carefully removed using specialized tools. 3. Cleaning and shaping the root canals: Once the pulp has been removed, our dentist will clean and shape the root canals to prepare them for filling. 4. Filling the root canals: The root canals will be filled with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha to seal them and prevent further infection. 5. Sealing the tooth: After the root canals have been filled, our dentist will seal the opening in the top of the tooth with a temporary filling. This will protect the tooth until a permanent filling or crown can be placed. 6. Placing a permanent filling or crown: In most cases, a permanent filling or crown will be placed on the tooth to restore its strength and function. Root canal therapy is a highly successful treatment that can save a tooth from extraction. It is important to follow our dentist's instructions for aftercare to ensure the success of the treatment.
