Save Your Natural Tooth
At Van Orman Dental, we understand that tooth pain can be overwhelming. If you’re experiencing severe toothache, sensitivity, or swelling, you may need root canal therapy. This pain-relieving procedure helps save your natural tooth by treating infection and preventing further damage.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy, also called orthodontic treatment, is a procedure used to remove infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, and when it becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause severe pain. A root canal cleans the infected area, seals the tooth, and restores it with a crown or filling, preventing the need for extraction.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
You might need a root canal if you experience:
- Severe, persistent tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold foods that lingers
- Swollen or tender gums near the affected tooth
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
- Pimple-like bumps (abscesses) on the gums
- Pain when chewing or biting
What Happens During a Root Canal?
Our gentle, pain-free root canal procedure involves the following steps:
Examination & X-rays:- We assess the tooth and take X-rays to determine the extent of infection.
Local Anesthesia for Comfort:- The area is numbed, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure.
Removal of Infected Pulp:- The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned.
Sealing & Filling the Tooth:- The tooth is sealed to prevent future infection and restored with a filling or crown.
Final Restoration (Dental Crown if Needed):- A dental crown is placed to strengthen and protect the tooth for long-term use.
Does a Root Canal Hurt?
No! Modern root canal therapy is painless thanks to advanced techniques and anesthesia. Most patients say it’s no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. The pain you feel before the procedure is from the infection, and a root canal actually relieves pain and saves your tooth.
