Root Canals

Saving Your Natural Teeth

Treatment for root canals is the process to treat the central area of a tooth that is inflamed. In every tooth, there is a soft material made up that is composed of blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue that keeps it healthy, nourished, and strong. Sometimes, as a result of the decay of the enamel surrounding the pulp, it may become infected by bacteria.

Signs of a tooth inflammation include visible swelling of the tooth, major sensitivity to temperature, or pain in the tooth or gums. Should you be experiencing one of the signs you should contact Steele Creek Smiles via Steele Creek Smiles for a consultation.

If you are suffering from an infection of your tooth, the pulp method to cure it is to use the root canal. A root canal is the process of a dentist taking the affected tooth pulp from the tooth chamber and cleaning the canals using disinfectant solution. We’ll offer local anaesthesia or anaesthesia to ensure your comfort through the treatment.

The final step prior to when you leave the dental office is that we’ll put a temporary filling on the tooth that we treated until the restoration is fully completed. The tooth may be a bit sensitive for the first couple of days, and we’ll recommend medication to alleviate symptoms. Do not use the tooth that has been treated for eating until you’ve had your full restoration. If you notice a problem, you should notify Steele Creek Smiles immediately.

If you’re looking to save your tooth, the root canal treatment can aid. Contact us now to schedule a consultation with Dr. Bajaj.
