Cost-effective And Pain-free Root Canal Treatment in North Lake
The Advantages of A Root Canal Therapy
Through endodontic treatment, a dentist can save an infected tooth and prevent the infection from spreading to nearby teeth. Root canal therapy is a long-lasting solution to your toothache. It prevents dead pulp from reaching beyond the tooth root, causing bone damage. Also, a root canal is less painful than a tooth extraction.
- Loss of tooth though extraction can be avoided.
- It prevents the spread of infection to neighbouring teeth.
- It alleviates the pain and discomfort of your infected tooth.
- It reduces the risk of jaw bone damage and bone loss.
- Root canal therapy is both safe and effective.
- It keeps the natural appearance of your teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canal Therapy
What Are the Common Signs and Symptoms of Root Canal Therapy Teeth?
The dental pulp is the soft inner core of the tooth surrounding the root canal. A tooth’s pulp can be found from the top of the visible crown down to the tip of the root. It consists of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, and it is responsible for supplying its blood supply. Bacteria can enter the pulp of a tooth if it has been damaged. If left untreated, a tooth abscess caused by bacteria can result in pulp death and bone loss.
Inflammation or infection of the tooth pulp can result from tooth pulp damage. Here are the common signs and symptoms that you need root canal therapy.
- Severe toothaches
- Sharp pain that radiates to your jaw
- Teeth sensitivity
- Pus or abscess in the infected tooth
- Gum swelling and tenderness
- Cracked or chipped teeth
- Discolouration of the teeth
What to Expect During Root Canal Therapy?
A Root Canal procedure typically requires three to four dental appointments. Your dentist will take x-rays of your damaged tooth. To ensure that the procedure is painless, a local anaesthetic is used to numb the surrounding area. It is administered directly to your gums.
You will be awake throughout the endodontic procedure, but our dental team will make sure that you are as comfortable as possible. Then, your dentist will drill into the crown of the tooth and expose the infected tooth pulp. The diseased tooth pulp will be gently removed using a special dental tool. A topical antibiotic may be applied after the damaged tooth pulp has been removed to ensure that the infection is completely eradicated.
Lastly, your dentist will fill and seal the canals of the tooth after they have been cleaned. Oral antibiotics may also be prescribed by your dentist.

How to Avoid Root Canal Therapy
The easiest way to avoid root canal therapy is to keep your teeth clean. Keep your teeth and gums healthy to avoid problems like tooth decay and cavities that can get into your tooth pulp. Here are some ways you can avoid root canal therapy.

- Floss your teeth daily.
- At least once a day, rinse your mouth using an antiseptic mouthwash. It removes food particles and prevents plaque.
- Replace your toothbrush every three to four months.
- Reduce your sugar intake to avoid dental caries.
