ROOT CANAL INFECTION North Hollywood, CA

Root Canal Basics

Understanding the Fundamentals and Need for Treatment

Every tooth consists of a pulp chamber and root canals housing vital tissues, nerves, and blood vessels. When these become infected or inflamed due to decay, cracks, or trauma, root canal treatment becomes necessary. Beyond just alleviating pain, the procedure helps save the tooth, preventing the need for extraction. By understanding the basics, patients can approach the treatment with a clear mindset, focusing on the benefits and longevity it brings to their dental health.

A Detailed Look at How Root Canal Therapy Works

Illustration of Preparation and Access

Preparation and Access

The first step in modern root canal treatments involves thorough preparation. At MV Dental Arts, patient comfort is paramount. The area around the affected tooth is numbed to ensure a pain-free experience. Once the patient is comfortable, our experienced dentist meticulously accesses the pulp chamber. This is the central part of the tooth housing the vital tissues and nerves. Gaining access to this chamber is crucial to address the core of the issue — the infected or inflamed pulp.

Cleaning and Shaping

With the pulp chamber accessed, the next step is detailed cleaning and shaping. The infected or inflamed pulp tissue is delicately removed to halt the spread of infection and alleviate pain. Following the removal, the chamber and the connecting canals are cleaned and shaped. This ensures that all remnants of the infection are eliminated, and the tooth's internal structure is prepared for the filling process. By using cutting-edge technology and techniques, MV Dental Arts ensures this process is done with utmost precision, preventing future complications.

Sealing and Protection

The final step involves filling the now cleaned and shaped pulp chamber and canals with a biocompatible material. This material acts as a replacement for the removed pulp, ensuring the tooth remains structurally sound. Once filled, the tooth is often sealed with a dental crown. This crown provides an added layer of protection, safeguarding the tooth against potential damage or reinfection. At MV Dental Arts, we prioritize not only the immediate health of the treated tooth but also its longevity and durability, ensuring patients can smile with confidence for years to come.

FAQs

Have Questions? We Have the Answers!

  • Contrary to popular belief, modern root canal treatments are designed to alleviate pain, not cause it. With advancements in dental techniques and anesthesia, most patients find the procedure to be as comfortable as getting a filling. At MV Dental Arts, we prioritize patient comfort, ensuring the affected area is sufficiently numbed and the procedure is conducted smoothly.

    •

  • The duration of a root canal treatment can vary depending on the specific tooth and the extent of the infection. On average, the procedure can take between 60 to 90 minutes. However, more complex cases might require additional visits. We always aim for precision and efficacy, ensuring the best results for our patients.

    •

  • Yes, most patients can return to their regular activities the day after the procedure. However, there might be some mild discomfort or swelling, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. It's advisable to avoid chewing on the side of the treated tooth until any temporary filling or crown is permanently set.

    •

  • After a root canal, the treated tooth can become more brittle and susceptible to fractures. A dental crown offers an added layer of protection, reinforcing the tooth's strength and ensuring its durability. Furthermore, it restores the tooth's appearance, ensuring a natural look in the context of your overall smile.

Genuine Care, Close to Home

I live near by there office and was happy to find MVDentalarts online. Great customer service. Did cleaning and two fillings. The main thing that made me happy that they didn’t try to sell me on the crown and doctor Steven said that filling will be enough, we will be checking and will try to save tooth as much as we can. Cleaning was very gentle. 5 min drive for me. Thank you. Definitely recommend.
