Root Canals
Protect your oral health and save your natural teeth with expert root canal treatment at Experience Dentistry in Scranton, PA. Dr. Jeanette Linskey-Sanders offers compassionate care and cutting-edge techniques to ensure a comfortable and effective experience. Root canals are a specialized solution designed to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp, relieving pain and preventing the need for tooth extraction.
What Are Root Canals?
A root canal, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth. The pulp – the soft interior that contains nerves and blood vessels – can become infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma. Root canals help eliminate infection, alleviate pain, and restore the tooth’s function by sealing and protecting it from further damage.
The Root Canal Procedure
At Experience Dentistry, we prioritize your comfort every step of the way during root canal treatment. Here’s what to expect:
- Diagnosis and Preparation: Dr. Jeanette Linskey-Sanders will assess your tooth using advanced diagnostic tools to determine the extent of the infection and if root canal therapy is necessary. Local anesthesia ensures the area is numb and you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
- Removing the Infection: The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed from the interior of the tooth and its roots. The inside of the tooth is then thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.
- Filling and Sealing: After cleaning, the tooth is filled with a biocompatible material to maintain its structure and integrity. A temporary filling or restoration may also be placed.
- Final Restoration: To complete the treatment, a custom crown or permanent filling is placed over the treated tooth, ensuring both protection and a natural appearance.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Choosing root canal therapy offers several advantages, including:
- Pain Relief: Eliminate discomfort caused by tooth infections or abscesses.
- Tooth Preservation: Save your natural tooth and avoid the need for extraction.
- Restored Function: Regain the ability to chew and speak normally without discomfort.
- Aesthetic Restoration: A final crown provides protection and a seamless, natural look.
- Long-Term Protection: Prevent further infections and preserve your oral health.
