Endodontist in San Jose and the Bay Area
A root canal, one of the most common dental procedures performed worldwide, has saved countless natural teeth from extraction or the need for dental implants and bridges. It is the best and safest way to do this procedure is with an Endodontic Specialist.
Understanding a Root Canal
At the core of your tooth resides the pulp, a cluster of blood vessels vital for tooth development.
Infection can affect this pulp due to various factors, including trauma, deep decay, cracks, chips, or repeated dental procedures. Infection often manifests as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature, or persistent pain in the tooth and gums.
The Non-Surgical Root Canal Procedure
Should you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist is likely to recommend non-surgical root canal treatment to eliminate the infected pulp, thereby saving your tooth. Non-surgical root canal therapy boasts an impressive success rate of approximately 90%, making it a highly effective solution.
Here’s what to expect during the procedure:
- Diagnosis: Your dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your tooth and may take X-rays to have a clear view of the extent of the infection
- Local Anesthesia: To ensure a comfortable experience, you will receive local anesthesia
- Pulp Removal: The infected pulp will be meticulously removed from your tooth
- Cleaning and Sealing: The root canal system will be scrupulously cleaned and sealed to prevent further infection
This treatment typically spans one or more visits, depending on the complexity of the case. Following the procedure, you can usually return to your daily routine with minimal discomfort.
Post Root Canal Care
Once your root canal therapy is completed, records of your treatment will be forwarded to your restorative dentist. Within a few weeks, contact your restorative dentist for follow-up regarding the next steps to safeguard your tooth.
Complications after routine endodontic treatment are rare, but should any issues arise, our team is available to address them promptly. To prevent further decay, continue to maintain good dental hygiene practices.
