Save Your Natural Tooth
Experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity? You may need a root canal to save your tooth and relieve discomfort. At Eledent Family Dentistry, we provide gentle and effective root canal therapy to remove infection, preserve your natural tooth, and restore your oral health.
What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a procedure that removes infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth. When decay or injury reaches the tooth’s pulp (nerve tissue), it can cause severe pain and lead to further infection. A root canal eliminates the infection, relieves pain, and strengthens the tooth with a protective filling or crown.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
You may require a root canal if you experience:
- Severe tooth pain when chewing or biting.
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold foods.
- Swelling or tendernessaround the gums.
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth.
- A persistent pimple or abscess on the gums.
If left untreated, an infected tooth can lead to serious complications, including tooth loss or the spread of infection.
The Root Canal Procedure
At Eledent Family Dentistry, we ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience using advanced techniques and local anesthesia. Here’s what to expect:
- Numbing the Area – We use local anesthesia to ensure you’re completely comfortable.
- Removing Infection – The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inner tooth is cleaned and disinfected.
- Sealing & Protecting the Tooth – The space is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed. In most cases, a dental crown is placed to strengthen and protect the tooth.
Most patients experience immediate relief after the procedure and can resume normal activities the next day.
