Restore Your Dental Health With Root Canal Treatment

When an infection reaches the inside portion of your tooth, it leads to dental discomfort you can’t ignore. At that point, your main goal is to get help. That’s where we come in! A root canal treatment will stop your pain. It preserves your natural tooth structure and prevents an extraction. Thanks to the latest treatment techniques and technologies, it’s about as easy as getting a filling. However, if you feel nervous, sedation options are available.

Here is what you can expect:

We’ll start with an exam to determine the exact cause of your toothache. Digital X-rays may be necessary.
Once we confirm the need for a root canal, we’ll thoroughly numb your tooth and offer sedation if you need it.
Your dentist cleans out the diseased part of your tooth.
Then she fills it with a rubber-like material to prevent further infections.
Finally, we’ll place a dental crown on top of your tooth. It keeps your bite strong and protects your tooth from bacteria.

Call 605-460-6468 for root canals in Redfield. We see patients on the same day whenever possible in the case of dental emergencies.

Common Questions About Root Canals

Why have a root canal?

Root canals are necessary when a tooth has become infected. This happens when bacteria reaches the pulp (the soft tissue inside a tooth). The bacteria can also cause painful inflammation, making it difficult to bite and chew, and may interfere with your day-to-day activities. By getting a root canal, you can remove the inflamed and infected tissue and rebuild your tooth.

Are root canals painful?

At one time, root canal treatments were notorious for being a painful procedure. Thankfully, we can complete this process practically painlessly with modern techniques. By using local anesthesia and dental sedation, we can prevent you from feeling pain and reduce any anxiety you may have about this restorative treatment. Also, getting a root canal alleviates pain by preventing you from feeling the pain of an infected tooth.

Will a root canal stop tooth pain?

Yes, ending pain caused by an infected tooth is one of the biggest reasons to have a root canal. Your dentist will remove the infected pulp from inside your tooth that has been giving you a toothache. Removing the infection also allows you to keep your tooth instead of extracting it, the only other option for treatment.
