What is Root Canal Therapy?
Your smile should last you a lifetime. Before modern dental technologies were invented, diseased or injured teeth were typically extracted. But today, an infected tooth can often be saved with the help of root canal therapy.
Root canal therapy is a form of endodontic treatment. Endodontics is a branch of dentistry that treats injuries and diseases concerning the dental pulp. If you require root canal therapy in Edmonton, an endodontist will perform your treatment.
Understanding the Structure of Your Teeth
What Happens During Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy can involve up to two or more dental visits. When you first visit our team at Belle Rive Dental Clinic, your treatment will start with our endodontist numbing your tooth and its surrounding tissues so that you do not feel any pain during your procedure.
Next, our endodontist will drill a small access hole into your tooth so that they can access and remove the infected pulp from the root canal. They will also clean and shape each canal so that they can be filled.
Then, our dentist will fill the root canals and seal them with a temporary filling to prevent further contamination. This completes the first part of the procedure.
After your tooth has healed, you will need to return to our dental clinic so that you can have your temporary filling removed and replaced with a dental crown. A dental crown will support your tooth and provide it with protection so that your restored tooth can last you for many years to come.
