The Root Canal Process
Many people think a root canal is awful solely because of movies and TV. Plus, the pain it relieves is often falsely attributed to the treatment itself. It’s used to remove the soft tissue from inside a tooth after it has become infected.
Once we numb a patient, we create a small hole in the tooth, clean out all the bacteria and dead tissue, and then disinfect everything. After the tooth has been filled and capped, the pain is gone, and most patients are pleasantly surprised that they felt almost nothing while in the chair.
The Benefits of Getting a Root Canal
We need to start this section with one of the most noteworthy benefits: the procedure doesn’t hurt! In fact, you’ll likely only feel some slight pressure from time to time since we numb your mouth thoroughly beforehand. It’s also worth noting that the process of eliminating the infection is relatively quick, this emergency dental treatment has an extremely high success rate, and the restoration used to protect your tooth moving forward will look and feel incredibly natural.
We know that even just hearing “root canal” can incite panic in some patients. That’s why we genuinely go the extra mile to make the process of restoring your tooth as stress-free as possible – from walking you through what to expect to helping you navigate the financial side of your care. So, if you have any questions for us or you’re ready to schedule your next appointment, don’t hesitate to get in touch. We want to help!
