Preserve Your Natural Teeth with Expert Root Canal Treatments in Edmonton
Experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity? At The Tooth Doctor, we specialize in root canal treatments in Edmonton, providing expert care to save your teeth and eliminate pain. Our skilled endodontists use the latest techniques in endodontics services to ensure you receive the highest standard of care.
Why Choose The Tooth Doctor?
Choosing The Tooth Doctor means selecting a clinic that prioritizes your comfort and dental health. We understand the anxiety associated treatment and are dedicated to making the experience as pain-free as possible.
Experienced Specialists: Our root canal specialists are experts in diagnosing and treating tooth pain and infections, saving teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
Advanced Technology: Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, we ensure precise and efficient treatments with minimal discomfort.
Patient-Centric Care: We focus on ensuring each patient understands their treatment options and receives care tailored to their needs.
How Does the Procedure Work?
This treatment involves removing infected or inflamed pulp from within your tooth, cleaning the tooth, and then filling and sealing this space to prevent further infection.
Here’s how we do it at The Tooth Doctor:
Diagnosis: An initial consultation and X-rays determine if root canal therapy is needed.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
Pulp Removal: An opening is made in the crown of the tooth to remove the infected or inflamed pulp.
Cleaning and Shaping: The tooth is thoroughly cleaned, and the space is shaped for filling.
Filling: The cleaned and shaped canal is filled with a biocompatible material, usually gutta-percha, and sealed.
Restoration: A crown or filling is placed to restore the tooth to its full function.
Benefits
Relieves Symptoms: Effectively eliminates pain caused by pulp infection or inflammation.
Saves Your Tooth: Allows you to keep your natural tooth, avoiding extraction.
Prevents Spread of Infection: Cleaning and sealing the tooth prevents infection from spreading to other teeth or the jawbone.
Restores Function: A restored tooth can function like any other tooth after recovery, allowing you to chew and bite without issues.
Signs You Might Need This Treatment
If you notice any of these symptoms, consider consulting with our specialist:
- Severe toothache when chewing or applying pressure
- Prolonged sensitivity or pain in response to hot and cold temperatures
- Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
- Swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-treatment care is crucial for recovery. Patients are advised to avoid chewing on the affected side until the tooth is fully restored. Proper oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing and flossing, should be maintained. Follow-up visits with our endodontist are scheduled to ensure the tooth heals properly and remains free of infection.
