Understanding Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure designed to save a tooth that is infected or severely decayed. During the procedure, the infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed. Root canal therapy becomes necessary when the pulp inside the tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or trauma to the tooth. By preserving the natural tooth, root canal therapy helps maintain proper chewing function and prevents the need for extraction.
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy offers several benefits to patients beyond just saving the affected tooth. By eliminating the infection and inflammation within the tooth, root canal therapy relieves pain and discomfort associated with toothaches. Additionally, it prevents the spread of infection to other teeth or surrounding tissues, preserving overall oral health. Furthermore, root canal therapy helps maintain the natural appearance and functionality of the tooth, avoiding the need for more extensive dental procedures like extraction and tooth replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is root canal therapy painful?
While the idea of root canal therapy may sound daunting, the procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort during the process. Any post-procedure discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
How long does a root canal procedure take?
The duration of a root canal procedure can vary depending on the complexity of the case. In most instances, it can be completed in one or two appointments.
Will I need a crown after root canal therapy?
In many cases, a dental crown is recommended to protect and strengthen the tooth following root canal therapy. Our team will assess your individual situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
Can I drive home after a root canal procedure?
Since root canal therapy is performed under local anesthesia, it’s generally safe to drive yourself home after the procedure. However, if you receive sedation, you may need to arrange for someone to drive you home.
How often should I schedule dental checkups?
It is generally recommended to have a dental checkup every six months to maintain optimal oral health. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits based on your individual needs and oral health status.
