What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Teeth are durable and can withstand decades of repeated biting and chewing. As such, it can be easy to forget that they're still vulnerable to trauma and decay. When the protective outer layers of your tooth have been compromised, it can create a channel for bacteria to enter your tooth's pulp chamber and infect it. Without professional intervention, your tooth's infection can spread to surrounding teeth and significantly impact your oral health. Some of the most common symptoms of tooth infection include:
- Swollen or tender gums surrounding your tooth
- Darkening of your tooth's enamel
- Heightened sensitivity to temperature change, like hot or cold beverages
Root canal treatment, also called root canal therapy, is a procedure that eliminates infected tissue from your tooth and protects it from future infection. At our practice, we've spent considerable time and effort improving our Vista root canal treatment process to be as effective and efficient as possible.
Our Efficient Root Canal Therapy Process
When you visit our dental office for the first time, our dentist will begin by asking you various questions about your smile. Have you been feeling any pain or discomfort that's been isolated to one tooth? Have you noticed any redness or swelling around your tooth? After asking you some questions, our team will take detailed images of your smile using x-ray technology. Once our dentists understand the scope and severity of your tooth's infection, they'll create your personalized treatment plan which outlines our recommended services, often beginning with root canal treatment.
On the day of your procedure, which may be the same day or afterward depending on your situation, we'll start by anesthetizing the area around your infected tooth. Our dentist will then make an opening in your tooth and use specialized instruments to remove infected pulp and tissue. Once they've prepared your tooth, they'll place antibacterial material inside of it that seals your tooth's root canals and helps prevent further infection. Finally, a dental crown or other restoration will be placed over your tooth to restore its full functionality.
