Relieve Your Pain
Why Roots Canals Are Necessary
Tooth pain can be incredibly debilitating, often interfering with daily activities and diminishing your quality of life. While the idea of a root canal may seem daunting, it is a crucial procedure designed to relieve the pain caused by an infection in the tooth pulp. By removing the infected tissue and sealing the tooth, root canals not only stop the discomfort but also preserve your natural tooth, allowing you to maintain a healthy smile.
A root canal treatment provides:
Pain Relief
The primary goal of a root canal is to alleviate the intense pain associated with tooth infections.
Prevents Tooth Loss
By treating the infection early, root canals can save your natural tooth and avoid the need for extraction, which can lead to further complications.
Improves Oral Health
Treating an infected tooth helps preserve your overall dental health and prevents the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and tissues.
At Bynum Aesthetic Dentistry, we utilize the latest dental technology to accurately diagnose and treat dental infections. Our commitment to patient education means we take the time to explain each step of the root canal process, ensuring you know exactly what to expect.
Your comfort is our top priority. We are dedicated to making your root canal experience as smooth as possible, effectively relieving pain and restoring your oral health.
Commonly asked Questions
While the idea of a root canal may seem scary, the procedure itself is done under local anesthesia to ensure you feel little to no pain. Most patients report feeling relief from their initial tooth pain immediately after the treatment.
A typical root canal procedure usually takes about one to two hours. However, the exact time can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the condition of the tooth.
Most patients can resume normal activities within a few hours after a root canal. You may experience some mild discomfort, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
In most cases, it is recommended to place a crown on the treated tooth after a root canal to protect it and restore its function. Whether a crown is necessary depends on factors such as the amount of decay and the location of the tooth. Crowns help prevent future damage and ensure the tooth remains strong and durable.
