Root Canal Treatment at Divine Dental Care and Aesthetics At Divine Dental Care and Aesthetics, we understand that the thought of needing a root canal treatment can be intimidating, but we're here to make the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Root canal therapy is a highly effective and common procedure used to treat infections or severe damage to the inner portion of a tooth, known as the pulp. If left untreated, such issues can lead to more severe pain, infection, and even tooth loss. With our experienced team and state-of-the-art techniques, we ensure that your root canal treatment is performed efficiently and with the utmost care, preserving your natural tooth and relieving any pain or discomfort. What is a Root Canal? A root canal is a procedure to treat infection or damage to the pulp of the tooth, which consists of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. The pulp can become infected due to deep decay, trauma, or cracks in the tooth, which can lead to severe pain, swelling, or abscesses. During a root canal procedure, we remove the infected or damaged pulp, clean the interior of the tooth, and seal it to prevent further infection. This allows the tooth to remain in your mouth and function normally, while also eliminating the pain associated with the infection. Why Do You Need a Root Canal? Root canal treatment may be necessary for a variety of reasons, including: Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure, is a common sign of infection or damage to the tooth’s pulp. Tooth Sensitivity: If you experience extreme sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers even after the stimulus is removed, it could indicate an issue with the tooth’s pulp. Abscess or Swelling: A pimple-like bump on the gums or persistent swelling near the affected tooth can be a sign of infection or an abscess. Discoloration: A darkened or discolored tooth could indicate damage or decay to the pulp. Cracked or Chipped Teeth: Trauma or injury that causes cracks in the teeth can expose the pulp to bacteria, leading to infection.
