ROOT CANAL THERAPY

Comprehensive Care for Root Canal Therapy

At Spring Valley Dental, we specialize in providing expert root canal treatment to alleviate pain, save natural teeth, and restore oral health. Explore our comprehensive guide to root canal therapy to learn more about the procedure, its benefits, and why it may be necessary for maintaining your dental well-being.

​

Understanding Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure used to treat and save a tooth that is infected, decayed, or severely damaged. The process involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp (soft tissue inside the tooth), cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then sealing them to prevent further infection.

​

When is Root Canal Treatment Needed?

Root canal treatment may be recommended if you experience:

  • Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent pain or sensitivity to hot and cold, often accompanied by swelling or tenderness in the gums.

  • Deep Decay: When a cavity has reached the pulp of the tooth, causing infection or abscess.

  • Trauma or Injury: A cracked or fractured tooth that exposes the pulp, leading to inflammation or infection.

  • Recurrent Dental Procedures: Teeth that have undergone multiple dental procedures or trauma may require root canal therapy to restore health and function.

 

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Discover the advantages of choosing root canal therapy to save your natural tooth:

  • Pain Relief: Eliminates toothache and discomfort caused by infection or inflammation.

  • Preservation of Tooth Structure: Maintains the natural appearance and functionality of your tooth.

  • Prevents Further Spread of Infection: Stops the spread of infection to neighboring teeth and surrounding tissues.

  • Efficient and Cost-Effective: Saves you time and money compared to tooth extraction followed by replacement options like implants or bridges.

 

What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment

Our experienced dental professionals ensure a comfortable and effective procedure:

  • Initial Evaluation: Comprehensive examination and X-rays to assess the extent of damage and determine the need for root canal therapy.

  • Procedure: Local anesthesia is administered for your comfort. The infected pulp is removed, and the canals are cleaned, shaped, and filled with a biocompatible material.

  • Restoration: After healing, a dental crown or filling is placed over the treated tooth to restore its strength, function, and appearance.

 

Post-Treatment Care

Following root canal treatment, maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups to ensure the health of your restored tooth. Avoid chewing hard or sticky foods until the tooth is fully restored.
