What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a routine dental treatment we provide to help patients who are suffering from an infected tooth or a tooth vulnerable to infection due to injury. Specifically, it focuses on treating the inner part of the tooth called the pulp, removing bacteria and sealing it off for protection. This procedure is vital for protecting your tooth from the dangers of an infection, providing symptom relief, and getting your smile back on track. By getting a root canal as soon as you notice the symptoms, you can avoid more involved procedures down the road.

What Is the Treatment Like?

A modern root canal treatment is almost nothing like the treatment from years ago. In fact, most of our patients report that getting a root canal seems almost identical to getting a routine dental filling. We use precise amounts of local anesthetic to keep the treatment area from feeling any pain during the process, so you can count on a comfortable, low-stress treatment from start to finish. Dr. Modi carefully uses the latest treatment methods to help ensure a comfortable, safe, and effective procedure that relieves your symptoms.

First we inject a numbing solution at the treatment area. We then start the treatment only once you are comfortable and ready. The actual treatment is quite simple: we clear out the infected and vulnerable part of the tooth and then seal it off. That’s really all there is to this procedure! Afterword, it is normal for the treated area to be a bit sore, but this only lasts for a day to a couple of days for most patients. Rather, you will more likely notice the relief from your painful symptoms!

Should I Get a Root Canal?

If your tooth has been damaged or become infected, then a root canal is often the best and fastest solution. Not only does it save your tooth from danger, but it can provide almost immediate relieve from severe pain and other symptoms. Some of the most common signs you may need a root canal include:

Severe pain in and around a tooth
Problems with your gums (discoloration, swelling, bleeding)
Increased sensitivity to temperatures
Sudden stop to pain (a result of the infection killing a tooth’s nerves)

If you notice any of these or anything else unpleasant going on with your teeth, then it is probably time to give our office a call. The first step to treating your tooth is to come in for an examination at our office in Livermore. Dr. Modi takes the time to fully go over all your options for treating a damaged or infected tooth. He ensures that you know about your tooth treatment options from the very start, so you can make fully-informed decisions. If you have any questions at any time, Dr. Modi and his staff will be happy to provide helpful answers and any info you might need.
