Root canals are often believed to be long, complicated ordeals that involve excruciating pain and unknown complications. The truth, however, is that root canal therapy alleviates the pain that comes from tooth decay and infection that has reached the pulp of the tooth.
Here at Lakeview Dental, your root canal specialist in Green Valley Ranch, we use the most advanced technology and effective techniques to minimize discomfort as we work to relieve your pain. If the infection has not eaten away at the bone, root canal therapy can save your tooth and help you avoid more complicated and costly treatments in the future.
How Does Root Canal Therapy Work?
A root canal procedure opens the top of the tooth in order to reach the infected area. We use tools that are minimally invasive to avoid excess discomfort. Once we clean the infected tissue and root canal spaces, we will fill the tooth with a material that helps ensure that it won’t get infected again.
Typically, patients will experience mild pain, discomfort, and tenderness for a few days following the root canal procedure. This will soon subside, but we do recommend eating soft foods during this time to speed up their recovery and minimize post-procedure pain and discomfort. When the procedure is done, the tooth will be restored to its normal strength and functional capacity. More importantly, you’ll have some relief from the constant pain of an infected tooth.
