ROOT CANAL THERAPY (ENDODONTICS)

Picture
We've all heard the saying, "as bad as a root canal." At Dental Excellence, a root canal actually isn't so bad at all! It's a common misconception that a root canal must be painful, but a root canal is really just the treatment to relieve your tooth pain.

Root canal therapy is necessary when the pulp (or soft tissue) inside your tooth gets inflamed or infected. Inflammation or infection can have several causes, including deep decay, a crack or chip in the tooth, old leaky crowns, or trauma to the tooth (even when there is no visible damage).

 
When left untreated, inflammation or infection can lead to severe pain and even an abscess (accumulation of pus) inside the bone, tooth, and gums. If left untreated for too long, your tooth can be damaged beyond repair and can create a large defect in the bone. As the infection worsens, it could lead to severe swelling and possible hospitalization. Saving your natural tooth will keep you from missing out on the foods you love, will help protect your other teeth from wear, and will allow you to maintain your natural appearance without the expense of additional dental work.
 
During root canal therapy, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed. The inside of the tooth is then cleaned and disinfected to remove any remaining bacteria. Then the tooth is filled with a rubber-like material for stability and restored with a crown or filling for protection.

What to Expect
Root canal treatment typically takes just one or two appointments depending on the condition of your tooth. We make sure you are comfortable throughout your treatment and offer oral or IV sedation for those with severe dental anxiety.

"I went in for a root canal nervous about how it was going to hurt. It was not painful at all. Dr Nessif was excellent, very friendly and told me what he was going to do before he did it." - RYANN B.

"I had a root canal done today on an upper molar. I was really dreading the procedure...but there was absolutely no pain - didn't feel anything! Wonderful experience!" - DAN
