What is a Root Canal

A root canal is an oral procedure that removes infected and inflamed tissues from within a tooth. This preserves the tooth while preventing infection and pain. The term "root-canal" is also used to refer to the natural cavities in the tooth that contain this soft tissue or pulp.

What are the reasons you might need a root canal?

If you suffer from:

• Pain in the teeth, particularly when chewing or applying force
• Sensitivity to cold or heat for a long time
• Darkening the tooth
• The gums are swollen and tender.
• The gums are prone to recurring or persistent pimples

Our Root Canal Procedure

Cross Creek Dental's approach to root canal treatment is centered on patient comfort, and we strive for the best possible outcomes. 

What to expect:

1. Diagnosis: Dr. Webb may perform a complete examination, including digital X-rays, in order to determine the extent and severity of the infection.
2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort.
3. Pulp removal: After carefully removing the infected pulp or inflamed tissue, we will clean and disinfect the interior chambers of your tooth.
4. Filling: The space is filled with biocompatible material after cleaning and then sealed with a temporary filling.
5. Restorative: A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment will most likely need a crown to restore its full function and protect it.

Root Canal Therapy Benefits

• Pain Relieving: A root canal can relieve toothache due to infected pulp.
• Tooth Preserving: You can keep your natural teeth and avoid the need for extraction.
• Improved Dental Health: By removing the infection, you can protect your mouth and teeth from further damage.

After-Treatment Care

Your tooth may be sensitive for several days after a root canal. Pain relievers available over the counter are usually effective in reducing discomfort. To protect the tooth, it's important that you follow our Doctors advice and place a crown.
