Root Canal Treatment in Bel Air

A root canal may be recommended when the inner portion of a tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or inflamed. Common symptoms include:

• Ongoing tooth pain or sensitivity, especially when biting or chewing
• Swelling or tenderness in the surrounding gums
• Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
• A small bump or abscess on the gums

If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible. Early care can help prevent further complications and may save your tooth.

At Aesthetic Family Dentistry, we utilize the latest techniques and technology to make your root canal treatment as comfortable and successful as possible. Here’s what to expect during your treatment:

• Initial Evaluation: We begin with a detailed exam and digital imaging to assess the condition of your tooth. Based on your needs, we’ll recommend the appropriate treatment and walk you through each step so you know exactly what to expect.
• Comfort-Focused Care: Local anesthesia is used to fully numb the area, ensuring a comfortable experience. Most patients feel little to no pain during the procedure, only slight pressure.
• Root Canal Procedure: The infected tissue is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected. The space is then sealed with a durable, biocompatible material to protect against further infection. In many cases, a crown is placed later to restore strength and function.
• Recovery and Aftercare: Mild soreness is normal after treatment and can typically be managed with over-the-counter medication. We’ll provide clear aftercare instructions and schedule a follow-up visit if needed to ensure proper healing.

Our team will walk you through each step, ensuring you’re informed and relaxed throughout the process.
