Root canal therapy is one of the therapies we provide for dental health issues. One of the most popular dental treatments, root canals, can be completed in only one visit. An endodontist removes the affected dental pulp and corrects tooth root abnormalities.

What is Dental Pulp?

Dental pulp, also known as tooth pulp, is found in each tooth. It is located deep within your tooth and contains nerves, blood vessels, and tissue. The dental pulp’s function is to maintain your teeth healthy by preventing decay.

Tooth pulp can become inflamed or infected for various causes, including lifestyle behaviors or a high-sugar diet. When this happens, the dentists must remove the pulp.

What to Expect During a Root Canal?

At Smile Dental Group, we utilize the most up-to-date instruments and technology to guarantee our patients receive the most excellent possible care. This operation will take place in a peaceful and relaxing environment. To aid with any pain or nerves you may be experiencing, we give numbing medications and a local anesthetic.

The procedure begins with placing a dental dam over the afflicted tooth to protect the surrounding tissues from debris and infection. Dentists will next extract the dental pulp tissue from within your tooth.

Dentists will clean and sanitize the region within the tooth after removing the injured pulp. After that, we’ll fill and seal the tooth to complete the procedure. Smile Dental Group requests that patients bring somebody to drive them home after their visit for their safety.
