Oregon City Root Canal Emergencies
Root canals are a dental treatment that aims to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. It involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp, sealing the tooth and placing a dental crown.
Do I Need a Root Canal?
Root canals are typically recommended to address specific dental issues that affect the innermost part of the tooth, known as the pulp. These issues can include deep decay, severe infection, or traumatic injury that has damaged the pulp.
Common signs that may indicate the need for a root canal include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, swelling or tenderness around the tooth, and discoloration of the tooth. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to contact us immediately. Our team will assess the condition of your tooth, perform necessary tests such as x-rays or dental imaging, and recommend a root canal if it is determined to be the appropriate treatment option.
Employing their wealth of expertise with the root canal procedure, Pioneer Dental’s skilled dentists will provide a precise and effective resolution to the underlying issue causing you pain.
The Root Canal Procedure
Root canals are a dental treatment that aims to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. It involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp from the tooth's interior, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then filling and sealing them to prevent further infection.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. After the root canal, a dental crown or filling is often placed to restore the tooth's strength and protect it from future damage.
The root canal procedure has a high success rate and can alleviate pain, preserve your natural tooth, and restore normal chewing function. Root canals can evoke stress and anxiety, but you can count on our professional team to guide you through each step of the procedure with compassion and care, and to quickly get you on the path to a healthy recovery.
