Understanding Root Canal in Lake Worth

A root canal is a dental procedure that addresses problems within the inner pulp of your tooth. The pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed, due to deep decay, trauma, or other factors, it causes significant pain and discomfort.

If left untreated, the infection can spread, potentially leading to tooth loss and even bone damage. A root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, cleans the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent further infection.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

Here are some signs that might indicate you need a root canal:

  • Persistent tooth pain: This can be a throbbing pain, sharp pain, or dull ache.
  • Sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures: Your tooth may be sensitive to hot or cold beverages or food.
  • Swollen gums: The gums around the affected tooth may become puffy and tender.
  • Visible pimple on the gums: In some cases, an abscess (pimple) may form on the gums near the infected tooth.
  • Discoloration of the tooth: The affected tooth may appear darker than surrounding teeth.

Root Canal Treatment Process 

At Rand Dental, we prioritize your comfort throughout the root canal procedure. Here's what you can expect:

  • Consultation and Diagnosis: During your consultation, Dr. Rand will discuss your symptoms and perform a thorough examination. X-rays will be taken to diagnose the extent of the infection and determine if a root canal is the best course of action.
  • Anesthesia: We will provide local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring a pain-free procedure. We also offer sedation options for patients who experience dental anxiety.
  • Access and Cleaning: Dr. Katie M. Rand, D.M.D will create a small opening in the crown of the tooth to access the infected pulp. The infected pulp, nerves, and bacteria will be carefully removed. The root canals will then be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
  • Shaping and Filling: The cleaned canals will be shaped to receive a filling material. A biocompatible material will be used to fill the canals and seal the tooth.
  • Temporary Filling: A temporary filling will be placed on the tooth to protect it until your permanent crown is placed.
  • Permanent Crown: During a subsequent visit, a permanent crown will be placed on the tooth to restore its strength, functionality, and appearance.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment offers several benefits:

  • Pain Relief: The primary benefit of a root canal is the elimination of tooth pain and associated discomfort.
  • Saves Your Natural Tooth: Root canal treatment allows you to preserve your natural tooth, which is preferable to tooth extraction. Natural teeth play a crucial role in maintaining proper chewing function and facial structure.
  • Prevents Infection Spread: Root canal treatment removes the infection and prevents it from spreading to surrounding teeth and bone.
  • Improved Oral Health: Root canal treatment promotes overall oral health by eliminating the source of infection and preventing further complications.
