What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Inside every tooth is the pulp chamber, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. Deep decay, tooth chips or fractures, damaged restorations, or repeated dental procedures can lead to tooth pulp damage or infection. Root canal therapy offers a highly effective solution to save teeth with damaged or infected pulp tissues, restoring their health and function.
Left untreated, tooth pulp damage can lead to complications, including severe pain, infection, and even an abscess, which can result in bone loss around the affected tooth’s root. The infection can also spread to the surrounding teeth or enter the bloodstream, potentially affecting vital organs and putting your health at risk.
During your root canal treatment, Dr. Guzman will gently remove the diseased tooth pulp tissues, disinfect your root canals, and place a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection. After your root canal, you will require a custom dental crown to protect the treated tooth. Dr. Guzman works with a team of specialists and professionals in the event you need a referral.
Root canal therapy is the only procedure that can save teeth with inflamed or infected pulp. The only alternative is to have the tooth extracted, which is always our last resort. If the tooth is beyond saving, Dr. Guzman may recommend extracting it and replacing it with a dental bridge or partial denture to prevent the complications and alignment issues that may arise from leaving a gap in your smile.
How We Keep You Comfortable During Treatment
At Priscila Guzman Dental Group, we strive to provide you with a warm environment where you can relax while receiving top-tier care. We are also happy to offer IV sedation, if needed, to help you feel calm and relaxed during treatment. We work with an experienced dental anesthesiologist who will monitor you before, during, and after treatment to ensure your safety and well-being. IV sedation will leave you with little to no memory of the procedure, providing a more pleasant overall experience.
