So a dental root canal is needed sometimes to relieve pain. Usually if the decay starts in the tooth, we’ll treat it with a dental filling. But if that cavity has sat there for too long and the cavity reaches the nerve now, now you’re in direct pain with that nerve, we have to basically kill the nerve and do a root canal to get you out of pain. So a root canal is a good service to help treat an infected tooth or just a broken-down tooth and help you get out of pain.
Protect Your Natural Tooth With Gentle Root Canal Treatment
When decay goes untreated or an injury exposes the inside of your tooth, harmful bacteria can reach the pulp, causing swelling, infection, and severe pain. The good news is that you don’t have to lose your tooth. At North Oaks Dental, we can save it — and relieve your discomfort — with expert root canal therapy.
Far from the painful reputation they once had, modern root canals are designed to ease pain, not create it. Our team combines advanced techniques with the latest technology to keep you comfortable at every step. Your tooth will be fully numbed, and you’ll have access to three levels of sedation if you’d like added peace of mind. You can relax knowing you’re in experienced hands.
Here’s how the process works:
- Removal of the Infection – Your dentist carefully eliminates the infection inside your tooth, giving you immediate relief from pain and pressure.
- Thorough Cleaning – The root canal system is meticulously cleaned using advanced methods to ensure no harmful bacteria remain.
- Sealing the Tooth – A biocompatible material is placed inside the tooth to seal it, protect against reinfection, and preserve your natural structure.
- Restoration – Finally, a durable dental crown is placed to strengthen the tooth, restore your bite, and give your smile a natural, healthy look.
Choosing a root canal instead of an extraction allows you to keep your natural tooth, avoid shifting teeth, and prevent costly replacements. With proper care, your treated tooth can last for many years to come.
