Keep Your Tooth with Root Canal

Root Canal Treatment is recommended when a tooth is infected. This treatment will remove pain, swelling or sensitivity experienced due to the infection. Patients who need root canal treatment may experience severe pain and require urgent appointments. We provide Same Day Dental Appointments in Fairfield to help make a start on root canal treatment and get you out of pain!

What Is a Root Canal?

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure aimed at treating infection within the pulp (the innermost soft tissue) of a tooth, preventing the need for its extraction. When a tooth’s nerve or pulp is damaged, bacteria can multiply within the pulp chamber. Without treatment, this can lead to abscesses, swelling, and severe pain.

During a root canal, a dentist or endodontist removes the infected or damaged pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, then proceeds to fill and seal the space. This treatment can save the tooth and prevent further complications. It’s typically followed by a restoration process, like a crown insertion, to strengthen the tooth.

Our Root Canal Treatment Process

Our Root Canal Treatment Process

First the tooth is assessed visually and through a diagnostic x-ray to check if it is suitable for a root canal treatment. We administer local anesthesia with our digital injection system to ensure painless dental appointments.

The tooth and roots are cleaned using our advanced rotary instruments and antibiotics placed inside the tooth for 1-2 weeks. In the second appointment, the root canal is finished by sealing the roots and then placing a filling or crown on the tooth.

Occasionally, patients need to return for an additional root cleaning appointment if infection persists. Some complex cases may need to be referred off to root canal specialists. At Najmi Dental we help preserve your natural teeth and are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Frequently Asked Questions

Root canal treatments have a high success rate. Success depends on factors like the tooth’s condition, the root’s anatomy, post treatment care and the experience of the dentist. Proper care after treatment is required to ensure longevity of root canals. The individual patient’s situation can influence the success of treatment.

Root canals go smoothly, most of the time. Sometimes, there may be issues such as the tooth getting reinfected, a tiny root branch being missed, tools breaking, or a pain after the treatment. In some cases, patients need to be seen by a specialist if the tooth requires a complex root canal treatment.

Root canal treatments are not painful procedures when the tooth is numbed. Once the tooth is anesthetised, the patient does not feel the treatment. However, there are some cases of severely infected or reactive teeth that flare up during or after treatment and patients can experience some pain or having difficulty in getting numbed. At Najmi Dental, we make our best efforts to get you out of pain and provide you with a pain-free root canal treatment.
