Tooth decay, leaky fillings, and trauma-related damage are the main causes of infection in the center of a tooth (the root canal).
Root canal treatment (endodontics) is a dental procedure used to eliminate infection at the center of a tooth. It is not painful and is necessary to save a tooth that might otherwise have to be removed completely.
Before we get started, you will be sedated, and you will receive medication to numb the area.
One hour is needed for each tooth to be extracted.
There might be some soring and swelling for a few days after the root canal treatment. This is perfectly natural and can be controlled by taking medicine that we will suggest and placing a cold compress or icepack on your face in the area where the tooth was extracted. In addition, we suggest not eating solid food within a couple of days.
You can return to work immediately after the filling.
