Understanding Root Canal Treatment

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). It involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection. Root canals are often necessary when the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth.

The Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Choosing to undergo a root canal at Cream City Dental can offer several key benefits:

  • Pain Relief: Root canal treatment effectively relieves pain caused by the infected or inflamed pulp.
  • Tooth Preservation: It allows you to keep your natural tooth, maintaining your natural smile and avoiding the need for dental implants or bridges.
  • Prevention of Further Damage: By removing the infection, a root canal prevents the spread of infection to neighboring teeth and reduces the risk of abscesses.

The Root Canal Procedure

The process for receiving a root canal at Cream City Dental typically involves the following steps:

  1. Diagnosis: Dr. Ibrahem will examine your teeth and may take X-rays to determine the extent of the infection.
  2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure you're comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.
  3. Pulp Removal: The infected pulp is carefully removed from the tooth.
  4. Cleaning and Filling: The root canal is cleaned, disinfected, and filled with a biocompatible material.
  5. Sealing and Restoration: The tooth is sealed with a temporary filling, followed by a crown or permanent filling for protection and to restore full function.

  • Avoid Hard Foods: Chew on the opposite side of your mouth until the treatment is fully completed and the tooth is restored.
  • Follow-Up Visits: Attend any recommended follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and complete any necessary restorative work.
