ROOT CANAL THERAPY
Root Canal Therapy in Chandler, AZ
Welcome to Flossophy Dental, where we specialize in providing effective root canal therapy in Chandler, AZ. Dr. Aditya Pandya and our compassionate team are dedicated to offering the best dental care to save your natural teeth and alleviate pain. If you’re experiencing tooth pain or infection, a root canal might be the solution you need.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to treat infection or inflammation within the pulp of a tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When it becomes infected or damaged, it can cause severe pain and lead to further complications. Root canal therapy removes the infected pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent future infections.
The Root Canal Process
Here’s what you can expect during the root canal process at Flossophy Dental:
- Examination and Diagnosis: Dr. Pandya will examine your tooth and take X-rays to determine the extent of the infection or damage.
- Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, local anesthesia is administered to numb the affected area.
- Pulp Removal: An opening is made in the top of the tooth, and the infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed.
- Cleaning and Shaping: The inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and shaped to prepare it for filling.
- Filling and Sealing: The cleaned space is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent re-infection.
- Restoration: Depending on the condition of the tooth, a crown or filling may be placed to restore its function and appearance.
Symptoms to Watch For
Knowing the symptoms of a tooth needing a root canal can help you seek treatment promptly:
- Severe Toothache: Persistent pain when chewing or applying pressure.
- Sensitivity: Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures.
- Swelling: Swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums.
- Discoloration: Darkening of the tooth.
- Abscess: A pimple-like bump on the gums near the affected tooth.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to contact Dr. Pandya for an evaluation.
Post-Treatment Care
After your root canal therapy, proper care is essential to ensure successful healing and maintain your oral health:
Pain Management
You can leave the office with a new set of teeth the same day as your procedure.
Oral Hygiene
Unlike dentures, All-on-4 implants are fixed in place, providing superior stability and comfort.
Oral Hygiene
The implants support natural-looking prosthetic teeth that enhance your smile and facial structure.
Follow-Up Appointments
Attend any scheduled follow-up visits to ensure the tooth is healing properly and to receive your final restoration if needed.
