The Goal of Root Canal Therapy
When the tooth’s inner pulp becomes infected, the resulting discomfort can make chewing difficult. Symptoms typically include swelling, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, and general pain in the problem area, which may contain an abscess. If left untreated, there is a risk of losing the tooth entirely. Root canal therapy addresses the infected pulp by removing it and preserving the tooth as a whole.
After a thorough examination of your oral health, including the structural integrity of the teeth in question, Dr. Saltzman will go over each step of your treatment plan. This can include local anesthesia, antibiotics, and sterilization. He will utilize high-end equipment to perform the operation efficiently while prioritizing your comfort.
Root Canal Treatment and Aftercare
During root canal therapy, Dr. Saltzman cleans out the infected pulp before filling your tooth and placing a crown, if appropriate. These crowns allow you to chew normally and are designed to blend seamlessly with your smile. Dr. Saltzman will provide you with a cosmetic temporary crown that will allow you to chew and smile while the final restoration is crafted.
While root canals are meant to save teeth, those with extensive damage will need an alternative treatment plan. There must be enough structure to work with; otherwise, extraction may be the best way to keep your smile healthy. If that’s the case, you should consider your teeth replacement options. No matter which treatment plan best suits you, our ultimate goal is to renew the function and beauty of your smile.
