Root canal therapy is a safe and effective procedure that can relieve toothache, eliminate infection, and preserve your natural teeth. Our experienced dentists are dedicated to providing compassionate care and utilizing advanced techniques to ensure a comfortable and successful root canal experience.

Understanding Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure that treats the inflamed or infected pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal of a tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels that provide sensation and nourishment to the tooth. When the pulp becomes infected due to decay, trauma, or other factors, it can cause severe pain, sensitivity, and inflammation.

Signs You May Need Root Canal Therapy

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may need root canal therapy:

  • Severe toothache, especially when chewing or biting

  • Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures

  • Lingering pain after dental work

  • Swelling or tenderness in the gums around the tooth

  • Visible discoloration of the tooth

  • Pus or drainage from the tooth

Root Canal Therapy at Dental Elements

At Dental Elements, our dentists will thoroughly examine your tooth and surrounding tissues to determine if root canal therapy is necessary. The procedure involves:

  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the tooth.

  • Access opening: A small opening is created in the top of the tooth to access the pulp chamber.

  • Cleaning and shaping: Infected pulp tissue is carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.

  • Filling and sealing: The root canals are filled with a biocompatible material, and the access opening is sealed with a filling.

Root canal therapy offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Eliminates toothache and infection

  • Preserves the natural tooth and prevents tooth loss

  • Restores tooth function and chewing ability

  • Prevents further damage to the tooth and surrounding bone

I had a long overdue deep cleaning, root canal/crown, AND fillings within a month. Dr. Thurman, Morgan, Kathy and staff were very attentive and kind with not ONLY the procedures and explanations but with checking up on me after the root canal. Also great at helping me figure out my insurance coverage and payments. Dental Elements is GREAT.
