Gentle Root Canal Therapy: Saving Your Natural Smile

Are you experiencing severe tooth pain or sensitivity? A root canal might be the key to saving your tooth and stopping the infection.

At Town Dental, we understand that "root canal" can be a scary term. However, with modern technology and our gentle approach, the procedure is often no more uncomfortable than a standard filling. Our goal is to eliminate your pain, not cause it.

The Root Canal Process: What to Expect

  1. Diagnosis: We take an X-ray to see the shape of the root canals and determine the extent of the infection.

  2. Numbing: We ensure the area is completely numb so you feel nothing but mild pressure.

  3. Cleaning: The damaged pulp is removed, and the canal is cleaned and disinfected.

  4. Sealing: The canal is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed.

  5. Restoration: In most cases, a crown is placed to protect the tooth and restore full function.

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is a root canal painful?
A: With local anesthesia, most patients report that the procedure is painless. The "pain" associated with root canals is actually the infection before the treatment.

Q: How long does a root canal take?
A: Typically, the procedure takes between 60 to 90 minutes and can often be completed in one visit.
