Save Your Smile With a Root Canal

Movies and TV shows would have you believe that there’s nothing worse than going to the dentist for a root canal. In decades past a root canal may have been an uncomfortable procedure, but thanks to modern technology and techniques, having a root canal done is no more uncomfortable than getting a tooth filled. Plus, sedation is available, either in pill form or using laughing gas.

If your tooth is hurting or is extremely sensitive to heat or cold, it could be a sign you need a root canal. When you come into the office, your dentist will evaluate your condition using high-resolution digital X-rays, plus we may use an intraoral camera for up-close images of your tooth.

If the inner portion of your tooth (known as the pulp) is infected, we’ll recommend a root canal. To perform this procedure, we will:

• Clean out the infected pulp and repair the canals inside the tooth.
• Fill the inside of the tooth with a rubber-like material known as gutta-percha.
• Seal the tooth with a temporary composite filling.
• Recommend a finishing restoration using a new crown to strengthen the tooth and prevent further problems.
