Rest assured, at Dorri’s Dental, a root canal specialist (endodontist) on the team ensures that you’re comfortable during a root canal procedure and that you experience no pain.
The Dorri’s Dental team may recommend a root canal if you’re experiencing:
It’s crucial to seek immediate care if you’re experiencing symptoms of a root canal. Dorri’s Dental offers same-day emergency dental root canals.
Before proceeding with a root canal, your provider conducts a thorough evaluation of your symptoms and medical history and takes dental X-rays. Once they determine you need the procedure, they develop an individualized treatment plan.
During a root canal, your provider numbs the treatment area, and you may choose sedation to calm you. Dorri’s Dental offers nitrous oxide or “laughing gas” to help you feel relaxed.
Your provider thoroughly numbs the area around the tooth so you feel no pain. A root canal will be like any other dental procedure, such as a filling.
Your provider then removes the infected pulp from the inside of your tooth. After they clean and disinfect your tooth, they fill the empty root canal area and seal your tooth closed. To further protect your tooth, your provider may recommend getting a crown over the top of it.
After root canal therapy, you can expect your tooth and mouth to be tender or sore for a few days, and you should avoid hard food or candy.
Continue to keep up a good oral hygiene regimen and come into the office for routine cleanings twice a year.
