Root Canal Treatment
Common symptoms that may indicate the need for root canal therapy include:
Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent or throbbing pain, especially when chewing, is often a sign of infection.
Sensitivity to Hot or Cold: If your tooth remains sensitive to hot or cold temperatures even after the stimulus is removed, it may require treatment.
Swelling and Tenderness: Swelling around the gums or tenderness near a tooth could indicate an infection.
Discoloration: A tooth that appears darker than surrounding teeth might have nerve damage that requires a root canal.
When decay or infection reaches the pulp of a tooth, it can cause intense pain, swelling, and sensitivity. Without treatment, the infection can spread, potentially leading to bone loss or an abscess. Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue, allowing us to preserve the natural tooth and restore it to full function.
At Line Dental Aloha, we take every step to ensure that root canal therapy is comfortable and effective:
Advanced Anesthesia Options: We use modern anesthesia techniques to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
Thorough Cleaning and Disinfection: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.
Filling and Sealing: After cleaning, the tooth is filled and sealed to prevent future infection, preserving the natural structure of the tooth.
Final Restoration: To restore full function and appearance, a crown may be placed over the treated tooth for additional support and durability.
Our goal is to save your tooth while making the process as smooth and comfortable as possible. With our advanced techniques, root canal therapy can be a simple, pain-free procedure, helping you maintain a healthy, natural smile.
