Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is sometimes necessary to get rid of tooth pain and to save your tooth.
Our team will help minimize and prevent tooth decay. But life happens, and sometimes damage to the root canal just couldn’t be avoided.
During a root canal treatment, with the proper anesthetic, we remove the infected and painful nerve inside the tooth.
What to expect
-
At first, we take an x-ray to identify the problem.
Specific tests are done to identify which tooth is infected and needs treatment.
-
We pre-numb the area with numbing gel to reduce the pain of the injection. Especially for patients who are very anxious and have a phobia for needles or injections.
-
We first remove all the tooth decay, clean and disinfect the root canal.
A root canal filling is placed on the inside of the tooth.
-
Last, we will restore the tooth with a beautiful tooth colored filling, or we can design a custom-made crown to restore the tooth's function and aesthetic.
