What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a form of endodontic treatment designed to remove infection from the inside of a tooth. This procedure helps save severely damaged or infected teeth by eliminating harmful bacteria from the tooth pulp and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.
In many cases, root canal therapy can help patients avoid tooth extraction and preserve the natural structure of their smile.
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy offers several important benefits, including:
Relief from tooth pain and infection
Preservation of your natural tooth
Prevention of tooth extraction
Protection against further infection
Restored oral health and function
With proper care, a treated tooth can continue functioning normally for many years.
What Causes Tooth Pulp Infection?
A tooth pulp infection often develops when bacteria enter the inner portion of the tooth through:
- Deep cavities
- Cracked teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Severe tooth damage
If left untreated, the infection can spread deeper into the tooth and surrounding bone, potentially leading to bone loss or tooth loss.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Common symptoms that may indicate the need for root canal therapy include:
- Severe pain while chewing or biting
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Long-lasting sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swollen or tender gums
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, we encourage you to contact our office as soon as possible for an evaluation.
The Root Canal Process
During root canal treatment, Dr. Delson will carefully remove the infected tooth pulp from inside the tooth. Once the infection has been eliminated, the inside of the tooth will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
After the tooth has been treated, it will be filled and sealed to help strengthen and protect it from future infection or decay.
Our goal is to restore the health and function of your tooth while helping you remain comfortable throughout the treatment process.
