Root Canals | Green Lake, WI
Relieve Pain and Save Your Tooth with Root Canal Treatment
At Green Lake Dental, we understand that tooth pain can be excruciating. If you’re experiencing severe toothache or sensitivity, root canal therapy may be the solution to alleviate your discomfort and save your natural tooth.
Why Choose Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a highly effective dental procedure that offers several advantages:
- Pain Relief: Root canals are performed to eliminate tooth pain caused by infections or damaged dental pulp.
- Tooth Preservation: By treating the root canal, we can often save a severely infected or damaged tooth, avoiding the need for extraction.
- Infection Removal: Root canal therapy removes infected or inflamed pulp, preventing the spread of infection to surrounding teeth.
- Restoration of Function: Following root canal treatment, your tooth can continue to function naturally.
Our Root Canal Process
Our experienced dentists follow a careful and precise process for root canal therapy:
- Evaluation: We conduct a thorough examination, including digital X-rays if necessary, to assess the tooth’s condition and determine if root canal therapy is needed.
- Local Anesthesia: We ensure your comfort by administering local anesthesia to numb the affected tooth and surrounding area.
- Pulp Removal: We create a small access opening in the tooth and carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp.
- Cleaning and Shaping: The root canal is cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prepare it for filling.
- Filling and Sealing: After the root canal is prepared, we fill it with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha and seal the access opening.
- Restoration: Depending on the tooth’s condition, we may recommend a dental crown to protect and strengthen it.
Post-Treatment Care
Following root canal therapy, you may experience some mild discomfort, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups are essential to maintain the health of your treated tooth.
