Root Canals: Relieving Pain, Preserving Smiles
Welcome to Elite Dental Summerfield, where we prioritize your comfort and oral health. Our experienced team is here to provide expert care when it comes to root canals, ensuring you receive the relief you need while preserving the natural beauty of your smile.
Understanding Root Canal Therapy
- When is a Root Canal Needed?
A root canal becomes necessary when the pulp—the innermost part of the tooth—becomes infected or damaged due to severe decay, injury, or infection. Common symptoms include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, and swelling.
- The Root Canal Procedure:
Our skilled dentists perform root canal therapy to remove the infected pulp, clean the root canal, and seal it to prevent further infection. This procedure alleviates pain, saves the tooth, and restores its functionality.
- Advanced Technology for Precision:
Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, we ensure precision and efficiency in the root canal process. Our digital imaging and diagnostic tools enable accurate assessment and treatment planning.
- Patient Comfort is a Priority:
We understand that the idea of a root canal may cause apprehension. Our compassionate team is dedicated to ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure, using local anesthesia to numb the affected area.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
- Persistent tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swollen or tender gums near the affected tooth
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
