What Is Root Canal Therapy?

When a cavity is left untreated, decay can spread to the inner chamber of the tooth and infect the pulp. The pulp contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. If the pulp becomes infected or inflamed, root canal therapy (also known as a "root canal") by a dentist or endodontist is the only way to save the tooth and relieve discomfort.

If you don't schedule root canal treatment in a timely manner, the tooth will continue to weaken, and the pulp can infect the tissue around the tooth roots. The preservation of your teeth is important, and root canal therapy is often the last line of defense before tooth extraction or loss. Root canal therapy will leave your tooth intact, though you may need a filling or dental crown to completely restore the appearance and functionality of the tooth.

Some people worry that a root canal will cause them a lot of pain, but a root canal is intended to relieve discomfort once the root canal site has healed.

Anesthesia

One of our dentists will first apply local anesthesia to ensure you're comfortable for the duration of your root canal.

Prepare

Your dentist will use dental tools to access and clean all tissue and nerves from the pulp chamber. The root canals will then be shaped in preparation to receive a filling.

Disinfected

Your dentist may use a disinfecting solution to kill any remaining bacteria in the root canals.

Filled

Your canals will then be filled with a rubbery substance, and your tooth will be sealed to keep bacteria out.

Sealed

If you don't need a crown, your tooth will be restored with a filling.

Crown

If your tooth needs a crown, a post will be placed in the canal to strengthen your tooth. We will place a temporary crown while your permanent crown is being crafted. Once it is ready, you will return to our office to have the crown placed on the tooth.

What Is a Dental Crown?

If your tooth needs a crown after your root canal treatment, we can create one for you. A dental crown is a cap that fits over your tooth to protect and strengthen it. Crowns are custom-made and are often virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

When cared for properly, your dental crown can last up to 15 years.

A Common Dental Treatment

You may be anxious about root canal therapy, but root canal therapy from either a dentist or endodontist is common. Putting off this treatment is extremely dangerous because the infection from your tooth can make its way into your bloodstream and lead to sepsis. A root canal may be exactly what you need to save your tooth, alleviate your pain, and restore your chewing ability.
