Root Canals: A Path to Relief and Wellness

Root Canal Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth | Happy Smiles Dental

At Happy Smiles Dental, we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge about their oral health. A root canal is a crucial dental procedure designed to offer a non-surgical treatment for an  infected, damaged or dead tooth.  A root canal can relieve pain and reduce further complications such as spreading of the infection and damage to the jaw bone, adjacent teeth and overall well-being.

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal involves the removal of infected pulp tissue from the inside of a tooth. This procedure is performed when decay or injury has reached the tooth’s inner layers, leading to pain, swelling, or infection in the tooth and nearby areas. By cleaning out the infected area and sealing the tooth, we can restore its function and health.

The Process of a Root Canal

Diagnosis and Preparation: Our outstanding team of Doctors will evaluate your tooth through an examination and imaging to see what is going on. Sometimes the infection or injury progresses without pain so taking the right diagnostic steps is very important.  If a root canal is needed, we’ll discuss the procedure with you in detail.

Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, we will administer local anesthesia to numb the affected area. We also offer IV sedation as an option to ensure patient comfort. 

Cleaning the Canal: The dentist will create an opening in the tooth and carefully remove the infected pulp using specialized tools.

Sealing the Tooth: Once the canal is cleaned and shaped, we will fill it with a biocompatible material and seal it to prevent future infection.

Restoration: After your root canal, we will recommend a timely crown or other restoration to protect and strengthen the tooth.

Lack of Pain Does Not Always Indicate Wellness

It’s essential to understand that the absence of pain does not necessarily mean your tooth, or mouth, is healthy. Many dental issues, including infections, can develop without noticeable symptoms. This is why regular dental check-ups are vital. Early intervention can prevent more severe problems down the line and help preserve your smile and overall health. Delaying treatment for a tooth that may require a root canal can lead to worsening pain, increased risk of infection, tooth loss and damage to your body if the infection becomes bigger. If you experience any signs of tooth decay or infection, such as sensitivity, swelling, or discoloration, don’t hesitate to contact us. Early diagnosis and treatment can save your tooth and maintain your overall health and well-being.
