Understanding Root Canal Therapy
A root canal removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside your tooth, stopping bacteria from spreading and eliminating the source of your discomfort. Tooth infections often develop due to deep cavities that reach the inner pulp, cracks or fractures that allow bacteria to enter the tooth, dental trauma or injury, or older dental restorations that have weakened over time.
Symptoms That Need Immediate Attention
Ignoring tooth pain can allow an infection to worsen. Clinton Township residents should seek prompt dental care if they notice:
Persistent or throbbing tooth pain
Pain when chewing or applying pressure
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
Swollen or tender gums
A small abscess or pimple on the gum line
A tooth that appears darker than surrounding teeth
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, contact Pearly Smile Dental Studio for an evaluation. Early treatment can save your natural tooth and prevent more serious dental issues.
Our Six Step Root Canal Process
Digital X-Rays & Diagnosis:
We begin with advanced digital X-rays to locate the infection and assess the condition of the tooth. This allows us to develop the most effective treatment plan.
Canal Cleaning:
Our dentist carefully accesses the inside of the tooth and removes the infected pulp tissue, eliminating the source of the infection.
Shaping & Disinfecting:
The canals are gently shaped and disinfected to remove bacteria and prepare the tooth for filling.
Biocompatible Canal Filling
The cleaned canals are sealed with gutta-percha, a safe and biocompatible material that prevents bacteria from reentering the tooth.
Crown Placement for Long Term Protection:
To restore full strength and function, a custom dental crown is placed over the treated tooth, protecting it from fractures and ensuring long-term durability.
