Relieve pain. Preserve your natural tooth. Comfortable, precise treatment in a calm, boutique setting.
Root canal therapy is recommended when the inner tissue of a tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or damaged.
____When Is a Root Canal Needed?
Infections are often caused by deep decay, cracks, or trauma to the tooth.
Common symptoms include:
Persistent tooth pain
Sensitivity to hot or cold
Pain when biting or chewing
Swelling near the gumline
Darkening of the tooth
Early treatment prevents:
Severe pain
Tooth fracture
Bone damage
What Happens During a Root Canal?____
Depending on the strength and amount of remaining tooth, Dr. Clark may recommend a filling or a crown.
1. Cleaning the Canal
A small opening is created in the crown of the tooth to access the infected pulp. The damaged tissue is carefully removed, and the canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected using specialized instruments and antibacterial solutions to ensure that no infected material remains.
2. Sealing the Tooth
Once the canals are fully cleaned and disinfected, they are filled with a durable, biocompatible material that seals the space inside the root. This material helps prevent bacteria from re-entering the canal and supports the healing of the surrounding tissue.
3. Restoring Strength
After the canal has been sealed, the tooth is restored to protect it and return its strength. Depending on the amount of healthy tooth remaining, a filling or a custom dental crown may be placed to reinforce the structure and allow the tooth to function normally again.
