What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to treat an infection or damage deep within the tooth’s pulp, where the nerve and blood vessels are housed. The process involves removing the infected or damaged tissue, disinfecting the area, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.
Here are a few indicators that a root canal may be necessary:
Persistent tooth pain
Sensitivity to hot or cold
Swelling of the gums
Abscess on the gums
Early intervention can prevent the need for more extensive treatments or tooth extraction. Ignoring signs of infection can lead to the spread of bacteria, causing more significant pain and increasing the risk of tooth loss. A timely root canal can save the natural tooth, preserving both its function and appearance.
Options for Sedation Dentistry
We understand that dental procedures, especially root canals, can provoke anxiety. At Benage Dental Care, we offer various sedation dentistry options to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
Our experienced team works closely with you to create a personalized sedation plan that aligns with your anxiety levels and treatment needs. Your well-being is our priority, and we aim to make your root canal experience as comfortable as possible.
Laughing Gas
Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative administered through a mask placed over your nose. It induces a state of relaxation, and its effects wear off quickly, allowing you to resume normal activities after your appointment.
IV Sedation
For those seeking a deeper level of relaxation, we offer intravenous sedation. Administered through a vein, IV sedation induces a calm and drowsy state, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free experience.
The Root Canal Procedure at Benage Dental Care
Another way to ease anxiety is to understand what your procedure will be like. Here’s a layout of our treatment process:
- Comprehensive consultation. Your journey with a root canal at Benage Dental Care begins with a comprehensive consultation. Our dentists assess your dental health, discuss symptoms, and utilize advanced imaging to determine the extent of the infection or damage.
- Local anesthesia. Before the root canal procedure begins, the affected tooth and surrounding area are numbed with local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience. Our team prioritizes your comfort throughout the process.
- Removing infected tissue. Once the tooth is numb, the dentist creates a small access point to reach the pulp chamber. The infected or damaged tissue is carefully removed, and the canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
- Sealing the tooth. After cleaning, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material to prevent re-infection. The access point is sealed, and a temporary or permanent filling is placed, depending on the tooth’s condition.
- Restorative follow-up. In some cases, a tooth that has undergone a root canal treatment may require additional restoration, such as a dental crown, to strengthen and protect it. Our team discusses any necessary follow-up treatments during your comprehensive consultation.
