The Life-Saving Power of Root Canals
At Sacramento Dentistry Group, we understand that hearing "root canal" can spark anxiety. However, this procedure is designed to save your tooth and alleviate pain, not cause it. Root canals are a critical solution when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected due to decay, cracks, or trauma. Without treatment, the infection can spread, leading to severe pain, abscesses, and tooth loss.
Modern root canal procedures, performed by Dr. Castro & Dr. Karavan, are efficient, comfortable, and effective, saving your tooth and preserving your smile.
What Happens During a Root Canal?
Root canals start with a thorough evaluation. Using X-rays, Dr. Castro and Dr. Karavan determine the extent of the infection and plan the treatment. Local anesthesia ensures you are comfortable throughout the procedure. After the tooth is numbed, a small opening is made to access the infected pulp.
Once the pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected to prevent further infection. Afterward, the tooth is sealed with a biocompatible material, and in most cases, a crown is placed on top to restore the tooth's function and protect it from future damage.
Book AppointmentPost-Procedure Care: What to Expect After a Root Canal
Following a root canal, it's normal to experience mild discomfort, but most patients return to their normal activities within a day. Dr. Castro & Dr. Karavan will provide aftercare instructions to help proper healing. A follow-up appointment will typically be scheduled to place a permanent crown on the treated tooth, which will protect it from future damage and restore its full functionality.
