Do I Need Root Canal Therapy?
One of the more challenging aspects of root canal therapy is understanding if you need it. The best way to discover whether the procedure is necessary is to visit our office. Our Webster root canal dentist will conduct an extensive oral exam using X-ray technology to give us a unique look at your affected tooth. Some of the signs that you may need treatment include:
- Severe pain when biting or chewing
- Swollen and pus-filled gums
- Jaw and facial soreness
- A persistent bad taste in your mouth
- Your tooth looks dark compared to the rest of your teeth
If our dental team determines that you need treatment, we'll break down what it entails. Root canal treatment is an endodontic procedure that eliminates bacteria from your tooth's pulp and helps prevent future infections. The process can take as little as a single appointment, and our team will do our best to help you feel comfortable and calm. Our dental office has spent years providing both routine and complex root canal therapy, and we'll do the same for you.
Our Efficient Root Canal Treatment Process
At Webster Smiles, we've taken the time to improve and streamline our root canal therapy process to help make your experience as stress-free as possible. Our root canal dentist will begin by anesthetizing the area around the affected tooth and creating a small opening that allows us to access any infected and damaged tissue. We'll then disinfect your tooth's pulp chamber and remove any tissue that's either too infected or damaged to preserve.
Finally, our dental team will fill the chamber with a specialized antibacterial material that helps create a barrier so that harmful bacteria can't enter it. Our team will also place a permanent tooth filling to help ensure that it's reinforced and protected. Once your tooth has properly healed, you'll come back for a final visit to have a restoration, like a crown, placed over your tooth. It's important to remember that, depending on the severity of your infection, we may require you to come in for multiple visits.
Meeting Your Emergency Root Canal Therapy Needs
If your general dental practice doesn't provide emergency root canal treatment, we're here for you. At Webster Smiles, we know how severe tooth infection can negatively impact your quality of life. That's why we work to accommodate your emergency needs whenever possible. We encourage you to contact our office if you're dealing with a severe tooth infection, and we'll work to get you in for an appointment as soon as possible.
Root Canal Therapy FAQs
If you have any questions about our endodontic offerings, our communicative and friendly team is here for you. We'll answer all your questions and help prepare you for your visit. Some of the most frequently asked questions about our Webster root canal therapy include:
How do teeth get infected?
As you eat and drink, bacteria accumulate on the surface of your teeth. Brushing and flossing eliminate most bacteria and prevent potential complications. However, if any remaining bacteria penetrate your tooth's enamel, it can form a cavity, which allows bacteria to reach your tooth's pulp and infect it.
Does root canal treatment hurt?
Root canal therapy has an unfair reputation for being more painful than it is. With advancements in root canal technology and techniques, you can expect us to do our best to make the process as comfortable as possible. Our root canal dentist may recommend over-the-counter pain medication depending on your pain level following the procedure.
How long does root canal treatment take to complete?
It depends on the severity and location of your tooth's infection. For more severe cases, they may require multiple visits to treat. However, non-complex root canal therapy normally only requires a single appointment.
