What is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy has allowed countless patients to preserve their natural teeth for the rest of their lives. Dr. Rouhani typically recommend the procedure to help ease pain caused by tooth infections and sanitize the inside of the tooth to keep harmful oral bacteria from being able to accumulate. The sooner an infection is addressed, the higher the chances you’ll be able to avoid needing a tooth extraction.

During a root canal, Dr. Rouhani will remove all of the infected pulp located inside of your tooth. Afterward, he’ll sanitize the area, fill it with a composite resin, and restore and protect it with a dental crown. At Dental Attraction, we offer same-day emergency dental care, so you won’t have to wait in pain until our schedule opens up.

Symptoms That Can Be Treated With Root Canal Therapy

There are several symptoms and signs that could signal that you need root canal therapy. Typically, our patients who need the procedure come to us with severe toothaches caused by infected pulp. Here are some additional signs to keep an eye out for:

  • Sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures.
  • Pain while biting down.
  • Swelling, irritation, or redness near the damaged tooth.
  • A pimple-like bump on the gums near your affected tooth.

If you notice any of these, immediately contact your emergency dentist in North Dallas so we can schedule an examination for the same day. We’ll quickly develop a customized treatment plan to help ease your discomfort and maintain the health of your teeth and gums.

The Root Canal Process

After we’ve determined that a tooth infection is what’s causing your pain, we’ll begin the root canal procedure by numbing the damaged area using a local anesthetic. This will ensure that you don’t feel a thing throughout your appointment. We also offer nitrous oxide sedation to help calm your nerves and make you feel more relaxed.

We’ll make a small access point in your tooth to reach the infected pulp. Using small instruments, we’ll make sure to remove all of the pulp and sanitize the area to eliminate any lingering harmful oral bacteria. Using biocompatible composite resin, we’ll fill the inside of your tooth to seal it off and rebuild the shape of it. Finally, to protect and strengthen the tooth, we’ll top it off with a customized dental crown.
