Do you ever experience pain in your teeth? Maybe you’ve noticed signs of a potential infection, or chewing food feels painful. In some cases, patients with painful symptoms or sensitivity in their teeth may require a root canal treatment.
A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected pulp, the inner layer of your tooth. This infection can cause pain and swelling. Our dentists will clean and seal the tooth to prevent future problems and save the tooth.
Save Your Smile With a Root Canal Procedure
At Edward St Dental, we do our best to preserve our patients’ teeth and keep their smiles bright and healthy. After determining that a patient requires a root canal (otherwise known as an endodontic treatment), we’ll take the following steps to safely perform the procedure and save their tooth:
- Numb the tooth and surrounding area
- Drill into the tooth’s canals to completely clean or remove any decay
- Shape the canals
- Fill the root canals with gutta-percha (a safe, biocompatible material)
- Seal and protect the tooth with a dental crown
