If you've been experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity, you may have heard the term "root canal therapy" mentioned by your dentist. While it may sound intimidating, root canal therapy is a crucial dental procedure that can save your natural tooth and alleviate your discomfort.
At San Antonio Smiles, we understand the anxiety many patients feel when they hear the words "root canal." However, we assure you that our experienced team of dental professionals is here to provide the highest quality of care and ensure your comfort throughout the process.
Root canal therapy offers several benefits to patients, including:
By removing the infected pulp and eliminating the source of pain, root canal therapy provides significant relief from toothache and sensitivity.
Rather than resorting to tooth extraction, root canal therapy allows you to keep your natural tooth, maintaining its functionality and appearance.
Restoring the health of your tooth through root canal therapy ensures that you can chew and speak properly without any discomfort or limitations.
The dental crown or filling used to seal the treated tooth blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing your smile's overall aesthetics.
Root canal therapy is often a more affordable long-term solution compared to tooth extraction and subsequent tooth replacement options.
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure designed to treat and save a tooth that is severely decayed or infected. When the inner pulp of your tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can lead to excruciating pain and the potential loss of the tooth.
Root canal therapy aims to remove the infected pulp, clean the root canals, and seal them to prevent further infection or damage.
During the root canal therapy procedure, your dentist will begin by administering local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Once the area is numb, a small opening will be made in the tooth to access the infected pulp and remove it carefully.
The root canals will then be cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate any bacteria or debris. Afterward, a biocompatible material will be used to fill the canals, and a dental crown or filling will be placed on top to restore the tooth's structure and protect it from further damage.
At San Antonio Smiles, we take pride in our team of highly skilled and experienced dental professionals who specialize in performing root canal therapy. Our dentists have extensive training and utilize the latest techniques and technologies to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients.
