Patients need root canal treatment when bacteria infect the tooth’s pulp. Tooth pulp consists of blood, connective tissues, and the nerve at the tooth’s root.
If the tooth’s pulp or soft tissue becomes infected, a dentist will remove all the bacteria and disinfect the root. Next, they will fill and seal the space and apply a crown. To reduce your risk of needing a root canal, stay up-to-date on your regular dental cleanings. Gordon Family Dentistry is your root canal specialist, making the root canal treatment process as comfortable as possible.
If we believes you need a root canal, they will take x-rays. Next, our dentist will examine the tooth to see if there are any signs of infection in the bone or around the tooth. Once they determine you need root canal treatment, we’ll set up an appointment for you to return. At your following appointment, our dentist will numb the area and make you as comfortable as possible. Next, they will remove the tooth rot to eliminate the infection and apply a crown or cap. Depending on the severity of the infection, you may need to come back for a second appointment to finish the procedure.
Pulp death can happen due to a variety of issues. Some of the most common factors are decay, tooth fracture, trauma, severe cavities, or cracks in your tooth. However, if you properly care for your teeth and attend regular checkups and cleanups, your chances of needing root canal treatment are slim. If you are experiencing tooth pain, contact the experts at Gordon Family Dentistry and schedule an appointment.
