Root Canal Therapy

Deep within each tooth lies a soft tissue known as the pulp, consisting of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue that keeps the tooth healthy and nourished. However, when the enamel surrounding the tooth decays, the pulp can become infected with harmful bacteria.

Dentists perform root canal therapy to save a damaged or infected tooth and prevent extraction. It involves removing the infected tissue inside the tooth, cleaning the area, and sealing it to prevent further infection. This treatment not only helps alleviate pain but also restores the tooth’s function, allowing you to maintain a healthy smile. If you’re in pain or your dentist recommends it, root canal therapy safely preserves your natural teeth.

Signs of a pulp infection include swelling, sensitivity to temperature, and tooth and gum pain. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek a consultation with our team at Craft of Dentistry.

When a dentist diagnoses infected tooth pulp, they recommend root canal therapy as the course of action. This procedure involves the careful removal of the infected pulp from the tooth chamber, followed by a thorough cleaning of the canals using a disinfecting solution. Our experienced team will ensure your comfort during the procedure by administering local anesthesia or sedation as needed.

We will place a temporary filling over the treated tooth before you leave our office, until we complete the final restoration. It’s normal to experience sensitivity in the treated tooth for the first few days, and we will provide guidance on appropriate medications to alleviate any discomfort. It’s important to avoid putting excessive pressure on the treated tooth while eating until the full restoration is in place. If any concerns arise, don’t hesitate to contact Craft of Dentistry immediately for prompt assistance.

By undergoing root canal therapy, you can preserve your natural tooth and prevent the need for extraction. Take the first step towards saving your tooth by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Yaron Shvets at Craft of Dentistry. Contact our office today and let us restore your dental health and comfort.
