Restore Your Smile with Root Canal Treatment in Fresno
Are you dealing with constant pain or discomfort in one or more of your teeth? If so, you may be due for a root canal. Contrary to popular belief, root canals aren’t painful, and getting one when you need it can help you keep your natural teeth and live without oral pain.
Root canal treatment, also called endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat diseased or injured pulp (nerve) tissue inside the tooth. During a root canal, the affected portion of the tooth is removed along with any decay. The space is then filled with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha and sealed. In many cases we may place a dental crown over the tooth to strengthen it. Since Whitlow Dental has our own in-house dental lab, we can make your crown ourselves to same time and extra costs.
No, modern root canal treatment is virtually painless thanks to advanced techniques and local anesthesia. Most patients compare the experience to getting a routine filling. In fact, a root canal relieves the pain caused by an infected or damaged tooth, helping you feel better quickly.
You may need a root canal if you experience severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swollen gums, or a persistent pimple on the gumline. These are signs of an infection deep within the tooth that requires treatment to prevent further damage or extraction. A dentist will confirm the need for a root canal with an examination and X-rays.
