What is a Root Canal?

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure designed to remove infected or inflamed pulp from the tooth. The aim is to remove any bacteria to eliminate pain and preserve the natural tooth.

The pulp is a soft tissue made up of blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue which can get infected or inflamed causing toothache and sensitivity. 

Root Canal Treatment Process

During a root canal procedure, our skilled dental professionals remove the infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, thoroughly clean and disinfect the area, and then fill and seal it to prevent future infection. This procedure not only alleviates pain but also preserves your natural tooth, maintaining your smile’s integrity and function.

Our team of root canal specialists are here to alleviate any pain you are experiencing and are available to answer any questions or concerns you have about root canals.

Frequently asked questions

Root Canals Q&A

Roots and tissue inside your teeth can become infected by bacteria as a result of injury or a cavity that’s left untreated. If you don’t get to a dentist in time, the infected tissue can reach the pulp, or root, of your tooth. A severely infected tooth can lead to tooth loss.

If you have an infected tooth, you might experience a significant amount of discomfort. Symptoms can include:

  • Inflamed gums
  • Tooth soreness while chewing
  • Intense tooth sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures
  • Bad breath
  • Pus near the infected tooth
  • Painful aching in your jaw and mouth
  • A darker colored tooth
  • A small pimplelike bump on your gums

Call Clemmons Village right away if you experience any of these symptoms.

Typically, a highly skilled dentist at Clemmons Village takes care of an infected tooth in one or two visits. You could first require X-rays so your dentist can judge the magnitude of damage an infected tooth has caused.

Your dentist numbs the affected region with a local anesthetic to make sure you don’t feel pain during the procedure. Occasionally, your dentist puts a dental dam – a little piece of rubber – on your tooth to preserve its cleanliness and protect it from bacteria during the procedure.

Once your tooth is anesthetized, your dentist:

  • Drills a tiny hole in your tooth to reach the diseased area within the root
  • Clears away the unhealthy, infected pulp
  • Irrigates the area with water to clean it
  • Seals the tooth or applies a temporary filling to it

Call Clemmons Village today or book a consultation online if you have signs or symptoms of a tooth infection, to find out if you’re a good candidate for a root canal.

If you are experiencing tooth pain, nerve sensations, swollen gums, discolored teeth and pressure pain, there’s a chance you might need a root canal. 

Get in touch with our clinic if you are experiencing any of the above and we will be able to advise you on the best solution to reduce the pain and symptoms.
