What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a specialized dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has become severely infected or damaged. The procedure involves removing the pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then sealing the space to prevent further issues. By performing a root canal, we aim to alleviate pain, restore your tooth’s function, and avoid the need for extraction.

Our endodontic dentists are skilled in performing root canals with precision and care. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, including digital radiographs and CBCT 3D scans, we ensure that every aspect of the procedure is meticulously planned and executed.

Is the Root Canal Procedure Painful? 

Root canal procedures are often feared for their potential pain, but at Moonflower Dentistry, we focus on minimizing any discomfort. During your root canal, we use precise local anesthesia to numb the tooth and surrounding area, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Any post-treatment soreness is typically mild and short-lived, and we provide guidance on how to manage it effectively. Our priority is to ensure you have a comfortable and pain-free experience.

Why Might I Need Endodontic Care?

 

Symptoms that may indicate you need a root canal include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, tooth discoloration, and swelling around the tooth. However, several factors can lead to the need for a root canal. Common reasons include:

Deep Decay: Untreated cavities can penetrate the tooth’s pulp, leading to infection.

Trauma: An injury to the tooth, such as a crack or chip, can damage the pulp.

Repeated Procedures: Multiple dental treatments on the same tooth can stress the pulp and lead to inflammation or infection.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek prompt treatment to prevent further complications.
