This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need of dental implants or bridges<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the center of your tooth is pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature or pain in the tooth and gums.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”none” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1697924124148{margin-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”How is a root canal performed?” font_container=”tag:h5|font_size:30px|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” el_class=”faq-title”][vc_column_text]If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. This therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment required. Success for this type of treatment occurs in about 90% of cases. If your tooth is not amenable to endodontic treatment or the chance of success is unfavorable, you will be informed at the time of consultation or when a complication becomes evident during or after treatment. We use local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. In addition, we will provide nitrous oxide analgesia if indicated. You will be able to drive home after your treatment, and you probably will be comfortable returning to your normal routine.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1697924088074{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”none” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1697924124148{margin-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”What happens after root canal treatment?” font_container=”tag:h5|font_size:30px|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” el_class=”faq-title”][vc_column_text]When your root canal therapy has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist. You should contact their office for a follow-up restoration within a few weeks of completion at our office. Your restorative dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth. It is rare for endodontic patients to experience complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery. If a problem does occur, however, we are available at all times to respond. To prevent further decay, continue to practice good dental hygiene.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1697924088074{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”none” width=”2\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1697924124148{margin-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”How much will root canal treatment cost?” font_container=”tag:h5|font_size:30px|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” el_class=”faq-title”][vc_column_text]The cost associated with this procedure can vary depending on factors such as the severity of damage to the affected tooth and which tooth is affected.
