Inside every tooth is what is known as the pulp. This sensitive area consists of nerves and blood vessels. If infected or damaged, it can cause intense pain that cannot be treated any other way than with a root canal. At Palm Leaf Dental, our team can ensure your comfort while working to remove the pulp so that you walk away with a healthier, pain-free smile. If you are concerned that you might need root canal treatment in Nocatee, call and speak to a member of our team today.
Root canals often get a bad rap for being painful procedures, but this is far from the truth. In reality, these procedures effectively remove the source of the pain – the pulp, which houses the infection.
To remove it, we will make sure your mouth is numb by first providing local anesthesia. After isolating the tooth, we will access its chambers and canals by creating a small opening in the crown. Clearing away diseased and infected areas as well as removing the pulp, we’ll thoroughly sanitize the tooth before filling it with gutta-percha, which is a biocompatible solution.
After sealing off the tooth from future reinfection, we’ll have a customized dental crown created and put into place so that it protects the tooth over time.
