When Do You Need a Root Canal?
You may need a root canal if you experience:
- Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling or tenderness around the gums
- Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
- An abscess or pimple on the gum
- Deep decay or trauma to the tooth
What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment
- Comprehensive Evaluation Dr. Owji uses digital X-rays and a thorough exam to confirm infection and determine if a root canal is necessary.
- Local Anesthesia We ensure complete comfort with effective numbing before the procedure begins.
- Removal of Infected Tissue The inner pulp of the tooth is gently removed, and the inside of the canal is cleaned and disinfected.
- Sealing and Restoration After cleaning, the space is filled with biocompatible material and sealed. In most cases, a dental crown is placed to strengthen and protect the tooth.
- Follow-Up and Recovery Most patients feel relief almost immediately. We provide aftercare instructions to ensure a quick and smooth recovery.
