Understanding Root Canal Therapy
A root canal treatment becomes necessary when the pulp (soft tissue containing blood vessels and nerves) inside your tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, injury, or repeated dental procedures. If left untreated, the infection can cause severe pain, abscesses, and eventually tooth loss.
During a root canal procedure, Dr Hamid will carefully remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the tooth’s interior, and fill and seal the space. The tooth is then restored with a crown or filling to protect it from further damage and restore its function.
Preparing for Your Root Canal Procedure
Each patient’s situation is unique, and the best way to prepare for your root canal treatment is to schedule a consultation at our practice.
During this appointment, we’ll discuss your specific needs, answer any questions you may have about the procedure, and provide an estimated cost based on your individual case.
- We use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring you do not feel any discomfort during the procedure.
- Dr Hamid may prescribe painkillers to manage any post-operative discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days.
- Tooth sensitivity following the treatment usually diminishes within a few weeks.
