A root canal treatment is effective for treating deep tooth decay, without needing an extraction. At Manly Corso Dental, we help patients retain their natural teeth for as long as possible.
Using advanced technological methods, we can clean the root canals, seal them, and preserve the structures of the tooth. Subsequently, a crown is fitted into the tooth, which allows the patient to regain its function and appearance. Most of our patients experience significant relief after their first visit and are able to carry on with their routine quickly.
Sensitivity to hot and cold, sharp pains in the gums, alongside swelling are all signs that a person should book an appointment with their dentist. Addressing these issues in a timely manner helps avoid more complicated procedures later on.
The root canal treatment removes the damaged part of the tooth which is the soft tissue called pulp. It comprises nerves and blood vessels. The canals are then cleared to make sure that all remaining bacteria is removed. In certain cases, a crown is affixed to strengthen the tooth.
Skilled dentists ensure that most patients feel very little discomfort with a local anaesthetic and gentle care. The recovery period is brief as well: it is normal to experience mild soreness post-procedure that resolves within a few days. Barely any patients take longer than the few days to return to normal eating and speaking.
Root canal therapy is done at Manly Corso Dental using modern equipment which lessens discomfort. Most individuals state that the process is less uncomfortable than a regular filling, and local anesthetic is administered prior to the session to ensure comfort during the visit.
Discomfort, pain, and swelling are normal prior to the treatment but should subside quickly post treatment. After an extraction, the treated area should not be worked on until a crown or filling is placed. This helps avoid rapid wear and tear.
Root canal treatment makes it possible for infection to be removed while also allowing you to retain your natural tooth. This protects surrounding teeth, keeps your bite balanced, and helps avoid more complex dental work later.
