Expert Root Canal Care Explained

Under the expert care of Dr. Sadati, we utilize advanced techniques and technology, to ensure precision and comfort during the treatment. When a tooth becomes infected, your body defenses are not really equipped to be able to heal it. The reason is that the inside of a tooth is a confined space, and there is no room for swelling or bringing in white blood cells to fight the infection. So as the infected pulp tissue tries to swell, it becomes strangled and dies, and the infection begins to spread into the bone around the apex of the tooth. This is why antibiotics don’t work for an infection inside a tooth. When a tooth becomes infected, we need to remove that infected tissue and seal the tooth. This is called a Root Canal Treatment.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Root Canal Treatment

Why Root Canal Treatment?

Tooth Preservation: Saves the natural tooth and avoids extraction.

The Root Canal Treatment Procedure

Many people worry about needing a root canal, thinking it will be painful. In actuality, with modern techniques, that is not usually the case. In fact, if the tissue inside the tooth is dead already, there isn’t any feeling there. A Root Canal Treatment is the solution to a toothache, not its cause.

Even so, if the thought of needing a root canal makes you worry, we can offer you anxiolysis. This will make you so sleepy and relaxed that you probably won’t even remember your appointment.

Maintain good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing.
Avoid hard foods that can cause tooth damage.
Visit Dr. Sadati for regular check-ups and cleanings.

Outlook

Relief from pain and discomfort.
A fully functional tooth.
A long-term solution to tooth infection.
