Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a powerful tool in restorative dentistry that allows us to stop the spread of infection while protecting your original tooth structure.

  • Immediate Pain Relief:
    By removing the infected or inflamed pulp (the source of your toothache), we eliminate the cause of discomfort, allowing you to return to your daily life.
  • Preservation of Your Natural Smile:
    Saving your natural tooth is vital for maintaining proper bite alignment, chewing efficiency, and preventing the jawbone loss that occurs after an extraction.
  • Prevention of Infection Spread:
    Treating the tooth early prevents bacteria from moving into the surrounding gums, bone, and adjacent teeth, protecting your overall oral stability.
  • Long-Term Functional Results:
    Once treated and properly restored with a crown, a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy can function naturally and last for many years.

What to Expect in Root Canal Therapy Treatment

At BAO Dentistry, your comfort and the success of the procedure are our top priorities. We follow a meticulous, patient-centered process.

  • Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation:
    Dr. Ana Garrido uses digital imaging to assess the internal structure of the tooth and the extent of the infection, ensuring an accurate and honest diagnosis.
  • Gentle Cleaning and Disinfection:
    After ensuring the area is completely numb, we gently remove the infected pulp. The interior of the tooth is then thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to ensure no bacteria remain.
  • Sealing and Structural Protection:
    The tooth is sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent future infection. In most cases, we then plan for a custom crown to restore the tooth’s strength and protect it from fracture.

FAQ Root Canal Therapy

Actually, the procedure is designed to stop pain. With modern local anesthesia, most patients find it no more uncomfortable than getting a routine filling.

Common signs include persistent throbbing pain, extreme sensitivity to hot or cold, gum swelling, or a tooth that has darkened in color.

While extraction is an option, it often leads to shifting teeth and requires more expensive replacements like implants. Saving your natural tooth is usually the better, more conservative choice.

Most root canal treatments can be completed in just one or two visits, depending on the complexity of the tooth’s anatomy and the extent of the infection.

Removing the pulp can make a tooth more brittle over time. A crown provides the necessary strength to ensure the tooth doesn’t crack under the pressure of chewing.

Root canal therapy has a very high success rate. With proper restorative care and good oral hygiene, a treated tooth can last a lifetime.
