About the treatment

Root Canal Therapy

Why is a Root Canal Necessary?

- Tooth decay or trauma exposes the pulp (nerve and blood vessels)

- Bacteria infect the pulp, causing pain and abscesses

- Untreated, the infection spreads, leading to tooth loss

The Root Canal Process

1. Anesthesia: Numbing the tooth for comfort

2. Access: Creating a small opening to reach the pulp

3. Removal: Taking out infected or damaged pulp tissue

4. Cleaning: Shaping and disinfecting the canal

5. Filling: Sealing the canal with a special material

6. Restoration: Placing a crown or filling to protect the tooth

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

- Saves the natural tooth

- Relieves pain and discomfort

- Prevents infection spread

- Restores chewing and biting function

- Boosts oral health and confidence

Symptoms Indicating a Root Canal May Be Needed

- Severe toothache or pain

- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures

- Swelling or tenderness around the tooth

- Discoloration or darkening of the tooth

- Pus or abscess around the tooth

Post-Procedure Care

- Follow post-procedure instructions

- Take prescribed medications as directed

- Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until restored

Nathan Patterson

My daughter's first dental visit was a huge success, thanks to the caring and patient team at SkyBlue. They made her feel comfortable and explained everything in a way that she could understand. Now she's excited to come back for her check-ups!

I was nervous about getting a root canal, but the experience was surprisingly smooth. The team at SkyBlue was gentle and attentive, and they really put my mind at ease. I'm so glad I chose them for my treatment.
