What is Endodontic Therapy and How Can it Help You?

Endodontic therapy, commonly known as root canal therapy, is designed to save a tooth severely damaged by infection or decay. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth), cleaning and shaping the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent future infections.

This treatment provides several key benefits:

• Pain Relief: By removing the infected pulp, root canal therapy eliminates the source of severe tooth pain.
• Tooth Preservation: The procedure saves your natural tooth, avoiding extraction and additional restorative work like implants or bridges.
• Restoration of Oral Health: Sealing the tooth prevents future infections and restores its structural integrity.

At Basin Dental Suite, we use advanced techniques to ensure your treatment is precise, effective, and comfortable.

How Root Canal Therapy Works: The Step-by-Step Process

If you’re considering root canal therapy, here’s what you can expect during the procedure:

1. Local Anesthesia: We begin by administering a local anesthetic to numb the affected area, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure.
2. Accessing the Tooth: Dr. Esho carefully creates a small opening in the tooth crown to access the infected pulp.
3. Removing the Infected Pulp: The infected or damaged pulp is removed, eliminating the source of pain and infection.
4. Cleaning and Shaping: The tooth interior is thoroughly cleaned and shaped to prepare it for filling.
5. Sealing the Tooth: The tooth is sealed to protect it from future infection and maintain its structural integrity.

With our advanced endodontic techniques, your procedure will be efficient, minimally invasive, and as comfortable as possible, with minimal discomfort after the treatment.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy vs. Tooth Extraction

Many patients wonder whether it's better to choose root canal therapy or have the tooth extracted. While extraction may seem simpler, preserving your natural tooth offers several key benefits:

• Tooth Preservation: Root canal therapy allows you to save your natural tooth, which is better for your long-term oral health. Extraction often leads to the need for implants or bridges, requiring additional procedures.
• Cost-Effective: Although root canal therapy may have a higher initial cost, it is generally more affordable in the long run than replacing an extracted tooth.
• Better Functionality: A preserved tooth helps maintain your natural bite and prevents the shifting of surrounding teeth.

By opting for root canal therapy, you ensure the long-term health and stability of your smile.

Post-Treatment Care for Root Canal Therapy

After your root canal procedure, proper care is essential for a smooth recovery. Follow these tips to ensure the best results:

• Continue Your Regular Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss gently around the treated area to maintain good oral hygiene.
• Avoid Chewing on Hard Foods: Until your tooth has fully healed, avoid chewing on hard foods to prevent unnecessary pressure.
• Attend Follow-Up Appointments: Dr. Esho will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing progress and ensure your tooth is recovering well.
• Pain Management: If you experience any discomfort, follow the prescribed pain medication instructions to manage it effectively.

With proper care, most patients recover quickly and enjoy long-lasting results from their root canal therapy.
