At Harlem Family Dental, we offer root canal therapy to save damaged or infected teeth and restore your oral health. Our experienced team provides gentle and effective root canal treatments to alleviate pain and preserve your natural teeth.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage in the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth). The procedure involves removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and filling and sealing the space to prevent further infection.
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
Pain Relief: Root canal therapy alleviates the pain caused by infection or damage in the tooth pulp.
Saves Natural Tooth: The procedure allows you to keep your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction and replacement.
Prevents Further Infection: Cleaning and sealing the root canals prevent the spread of infection to surrounding tissues.
Restores Function: A treated tooth can function normally after root canal therapy, allowing you to chew and speak without discomfort.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Therapy
Persistent Tooth Pain: Severe or persistent tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure.
Sensitivity to Temperature: Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, even after the source of heat or cold is removed.
Swelling and Tenderness: Swelling and tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth.
Discoloration: Darkening or discoloration of the affected tooth.
The Root Canal Therapy Process
Consultation and Examination: Your dentist will evaluate your symptoms and take X-rays to determine if root canal therapy is necessary.
Local Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the affected area and ensure your comfort during the procedure.
Pulp Removal: A small opening is made in the tooth to access and remove the infected or damaged pulp.
Cleaning and Disinfection: The root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to remove all traces of infection.
Filling and Sealing: The cleaned root canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent further infection.
Restoration: A crown or filling is placed on the treated tooth to restore its strength and function.
