ADVANCED TECHNIQUES & PRECISE TREATMENT

A root canal is NOT a painful or scary treatment. In fact, our patients report that it feels mostly the same as having a routine filling, and they actually leave the office in far less pain than they arrived. So what exactly is a root canal and how does it help you? To keep it short, a root canal is a treatment is treatment you will need if the inner part of your tooth has become infected or damaged. This inner part is called the pulp and it is made up of important nerves and blood vessels that helped your teeth develop in younger years.

However, if the pulp becomes infected, it can put your entire tooth at risk and even put your other teeth in danger of the infection spreading. By disinfecting and cleaning out the pulp, this procedure can actually save your tooth and preserve it.

Our Patients Say

★★★★★ 5/5

Dr. Patel and Marilyn took exceptional care of me throughout my exam, explaining the source of my pain and providing treatment recommendations.

WHAT IS THE TREATMENT LIKE?

We use local numbing and anesthetic to ensure that you are comfortable for the entire process of your root canal at Stonebrook Dental. We only start the procedure once you are relaxed, comfortable, and ready. A root canal is much like a dental filling treatment in that it consists of two main parts: cleaning out the decay & infection and then sealing the tooth to prevent bacteria from getting back in there. Both steps are relatively quick, and the entire process should take under an hour for a routine root canal in Sacramento. After the treatment, you can get back to your daily life almost immediately, but we advise being careful while eating or drinking since it can take time for the numbness to wear off. The treatment area may also be a bit sore for a couple of days, but even OTC pain medication can help keep you comfortable.

Signs You Need a Root Canal Treatment

The most common sign that you need a root canal is a severe and sharp toothache. But an infected tooth can have several different symptoms, each one a key sign that it is high time to come in for a quick and effective root canal in Sacramento. If you notice any of the signs listed below, we recommend you give us a call and get the treatment you need sooner rather than alter.

Signs you tooth is in need of a root canal include:

Pain: Tooth pain that persists and seems to worsen is a key sign of infection. This includes pain that appears when eating or while touching the tooth.
Sensitivity: Watch out for new or increased sensitivity.
Discolorations: If your gums are looking funky or your tooth is discoloring, a timely root canal may be what you need.
Gum Problems: If your gums are either swollen, painful, or bleeding, it is likely an infection.
Loose Tooth: An infection eats away at the tooth and gums, so if you have a loose adult tooth, it certainly needs treatment.
Injury: Chipped or cracked teeth are especially vulnerable to bacteria. Even if you don’t have an infection yet, we advise taking care of the problem before it escalates.
Sudden Stop of Pain: If your tooth pain suddenly goes from severe to nothing, it actually can mean the infection has just killed the nerves. The bacteria are still there and need to be taken care of as soon as possible to save the tooth.
