Root canal therapy is a highly effective treatment designed to alleviate pain and preserve your natural tooth structure. If you experience persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to temperature or swelling, Dr. Amogh Bhalerao and Dr. Margot Metz can help. We understand that root canal therapy may sound daunting, but with modern techniques and advanced technology, it is now a straightforward procedure that can provide significant relief and protection.
Why Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is essential when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures or trauma. By addressing this issue promptly, our dentists helps you avoid further complications, including:
- Pain relief from ongoing toothache
- Preservation of your natural tooth
- Prevention of future infections
- Restoration of healthy function and appearance
Our priority is your comfort and oral health, and we provide detailed consultations to ensure you feel confident and informed about your treatment plan.
What To Expect During Your Visit
Our experienced dentists and team prioritize patient comfort. Before beginning the procedure, we take time to explain each step, so you know what to expect. Local anesthesia and, if necessary, additional comfort options are available to make the experience as smooth as possible. The root canal process involves carefully removing the infected pulp, cleaning the inner chamber and sealing the tooth to protect it from further infection. This method not only saves your tooth but also maintains your natural bite alignment and appearance.
Caring for Your Smile After Treatment
After root canal therapy, you can return to regular activities quickly, though some aftercare is recommended. Maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular checkups and following any specific instructions are essential to your recovery. Many patients find that root canal therapy has not only relieved their pain but also enhanced their overall well-being.
