Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?
The innermost layer of your tooth (the pulp) is a sensitive area that consists of various nerves and blood vessels. When damaged or infected, it can send signals to the brain that trigger immense pain. It can also lead to other abnormal symptoms, like persistent dental sensitivity, dark discoloration on the tooth, or a pimple-like bump on the gums. So, if you start to experience these or any other warning signs of trouble, don’t wait – contact our North Attleboro dental team right away.
The Root Canal Process
When preparing for a root canal, our in-house endodontist, Dr. Rebecca Tsai, will first administer local anesthesia. Then, she will use a dental dam to isolate the affected tooth. Entering through the crown, she will clear out the decayed or damaged areas and remove the infected pulp. Next, our team will fill the tooth with a biocompatible solution designed to protect the interior before taking impressions for a customized dental crown.
You will be fitted with a temporary crown while lab technicians work to create your permanent one. After several weeks, you will return to have your temporary crown removed and your finalized restoration put into place. This will provide optimal protection to your vulnerable tooth, helping to protect it from harm in the future.
The Benefits of Getting a Root Canal
One of the biggest benefits of root canal treatment is that it can effectively eliminate the infection, but that isn’t the only one. It is also virtually painless thanks to powerful numbing agents, can save your tooth, and delivers lifelike results with metal-free restorations. Plus, the success rate is extremely high, meaning there’s a good chance that you won’t need endodontic re-treatment or an extraction in the future.
