Save Your Tooth with a Root Canal
A tooth’s root canals are located in the soft inner part of the tooth known as the pulp. When a tooth gets damaged or a cavity is left untreated, an infection can eventually reach the pulp and cause you a great deal of pain.
At this point, a root canal procedure is usually required to stop the pain and repair your tooth. In most cases, a root canal will help you avoid having to remove the tooth.
Step 1
We’ll first administer local anesthesia and make sure the area around your infected tooth is completely numb. Then your dentist will make a small hole in the top of the tooth, through which they will remove the diseased pulp.
Step 2
Next, your dentist will use HyFlex rotary files to carefully shape and repair each root canal inside the tooth. These high-tech power tools are more precise than traditional manual files. Disinfecting medicine will then be applied to sterilize the inside of the tooth.
Step 3
Dr. Felton will then seal the canals with a special, rubber-like material called gutta-percha. This will help prevent the tooth from becoming reinfected. Finally, they will close the hole in the top of the tooth with composite resin.
For a lasting restoration, we recommend capping the tooth with a crown. Materials available for the crown include all-ceramic, porcelain-over-metal, and gold. A new crown will help strengthen the tooth and provide more stability for biting and chewing.
Root canals help our patients feel better – and they can do the same for you!
