When the pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental procedures, root canal treatment may be necessary. Without intervention, the infection can spread, leading to severe pain, abscess formation, and eventual tooth loss. Root canal therapy involves the removal of the infected or damaged pulp, followed by cleaning, disinfection, and sealing of the tooth's interior.
At Everest Dental®, we understand that root canal treatment can be intimidating for some patients. That's why we prioritize your comfort and well-being throughout the procedure. Here's what you can expect:
Comprehensive Evaluation: During your initial consultation, our skilled dental professionals will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of the infection and determine if root canal therapy is necessary.
Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on our assessment, we will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. We'll take the time to explain the procedure, address any concerns you may have, and ensure you feel informed and confident about your treatment.
Gentle Treatment: Using advanced techniques and local anesthesia, we ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience during root canal therapy. Our experienced endodontists will carefully remove the infected pulp, clean the root canals, and seal the tooth to prevent reinfection.
Restorative Care: Following root canal treatment, we may recommend a dental crown or other restorative options to strengthen and protect the treated tooth, restoring its function and appearance.
Post-Treatment Care: We'll provide detailed instructions for post-operative care to promote healing and minimize discomfort. Additionally, we'll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure the success of your root canal therapy.
