If you experience severe tooth pain or sensitivity, it may be a sign that you need root canal therapy, a common procedure that can save your tooth and alleviate pain. Root canal therapy is essential when the inner pulp of your tooth, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, faulty crowns, or a crack or chip in the tooth.
Our goal at Elite Cosmetic & Family Dentistry is to ensure that your root canal procedure is as comfortable and pain-free as possible. Using the latest in dental technology and anesthesia, Dr. Alexis Mai can typically complete your treatment with minimal discomfort in just one or two visits. During the procedure, our skilled dentist will carefully remove the infected or inflamed pulp, clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, and then fill and seal the space to prevent any further infection.
After the root canal procedure, our dentist will place a crown on the treated tooth. This not only restores the tooth’s natural function but also enhances its appearance. A crown will protect the tooth from further damage and restore its strength, allowing you to chew and bite without pain.
We understand that the thought of a root canal can cause anxiety. Please rest assured that our experienced dental team is committed to making your visit as relaxing and pain-free as possible. We are here to answer any questions you may have about the procedure, recovery and aftercare.
