GENERAL & PREVENTATIVE DENTISTRY
ROOT CANAL THERAPY
At Omnia Dental, we combine advanced endodontics with exceptional care to address tooth discomfort and sensitivity at the source. Our experienced team provides root canal therapy—a highly effective treatment designed to eliminate infection, alleviate pain, and preserve your natural tooth. With modern techniques and a compassionate approach, we’re committed to restoring the health and vitality of your smile, one root canal at a time.
HOW THE PROCEDURE WORKS
Root canal treatment, or endodontic therapy, is a remarkable procedure that can save a severely damaged or infected tooth. Inside your tooth, beneath layers of dentin and enamel, lies the dental pulp—a network of delicate tissues. Infection or inflammation of this pulp, often due to deep decay or trauma, can threaten the tooth’s health and cause significant pain. During root canal therapy, our skilled team carefully removes the infected pulp, thoroughly cleans and disinfects the root canal system, and seals it to prevent further infection. This procedure not only relieves pain but also restores function and safeguards the tooth’s natural structure.
While learning that you need a root canal can be concerning, rest assured this procedure is both common and highly effective. A root canal offers a reliable alternative to extraction, which could otherwise lead to additional oral health challenges. Our knowledgeable team at Omnia Dental, along with modern endodontic techniques, ensures a successful and comfortable experience.
ROOT CANAL RECOVERY
Proper post-treatment care is essential for a smooth recovery. Here are some general guidelines to support your healing process; our team will also provide specific instructions tailored to your needs:
-
Avoid biting down on the treated tooth for a few days to allow it to settle.
-
Continue brushing and flossing, but be gentle around the treated area.
-
Manage any discomfort with over-the-counter pain relief, and apply an ice pack to reduce any swelling.
-
Stick to a soft or liquid diet during the early recovery phase to reduce strain on the treated tooth.
Remember, the dedicated team at Omnia Dental is here to support you through your recovery, providing personalized recommendations to ensure a positive post-root canal experience.
