At Newfield Dental, we understand the apprehension often associated with the term “root canal.” However, advancements in dental technology have transformed this procedure into a comfortable and minimally invasive experience. Our non-surgical root canal treatment is designed to alleviate pain, preserve your natural tooth, and restore your oral health with precision and care.
Understanding Non-Surgical Root Canal Therapy
Non-surgical root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is performed to address issues within the tooth’s root canal system. This treatment becomes necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue within the tooth containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, trauma, or other dental issues.
The Non-Surgical Root Canal Process
Evaluation and Diagnosis: Before the procedure, your dentist will conduct a thorough examination, including digital X-rays, to assess the extent of damage and determine the best course of action.
Local Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, local anesthesia is administered to numb the affected area.
Accessing the Root Canal: Using specialized instruments, your dentist will create a small opening in the tooth to access the infected or damaged pulp.
Cleaning and Disinfection: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canal system is cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and prevent further infection.
Filling and Sealing: Once the root canal is thoroughly cleaned, it is filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal the canal and prevent recontamination.
Restoration: After the root canal procedure, a dental crown or filling is placed over the treated tooth to restore its strength, function, and appearance.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Root Canal Therapy
- Pain Relief: By removing the infected pulp and eliminating bacteria, non-surgical root canal therapy provides immediate relief from tooth pain and discomfort.
- Preservation of Natural Tooth: Instead of extracting the tooth, non-surgical root canal therapy allows you to preserve your natural tooth, maintaining the integrity of your smile and preventing the need for replacement options like dental implants or bridges.
- Efficiency and Convenience: Non-surgical root canal therapy can typically be completed in one or two appointments, saving you time and minimizing disruption to your daily life.
