Root Canal Treatment in Winter Springs, FL

Are you starting to feel soreness, sensitivity, or even noticeable decay in one of your teeth? At times, painful teeth can indicate several conditions worth getting looked at, and the earlier a dentist can determine the cause of pain, the better chance of your teeth staying healthy and intact. In some cases, a root canal treatment can make a world of difference for our patients at Advanced Dental Care!

What Is a Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatments effectively save an infected tooth and avoid extraction. Each tooth contains inner pulp that assists in the development of dentin (which gives your teeth their nice, white color). Several conditions can lead to pulp infection and compromise a tooth or the gums around it. After a simple exam and x-ray, our dentists can check for infection in the pulp and perform a root canal treatment. Generally, we’ll create an opening in the tooth, remove any infected tissues and thoroughly clean the canals. Afterward, we can fill the tooth with gutta-percha (a permanent material that fills the tooth promotes healthy support for longevity. Lastly, we can use a dental crown to protect the tooth, successfully relieving pain and restoring look and functionality.

When Might I Need a Root Canal Treatment?

If you notice pain in your teeth or gums, or if something feels a bit off, we encourage you to book a consultation with our professional staff. Some of the common reasons that patients require root canal treatments include:

Decay in a tooth or teeth
Infection in the pulp
Bleeding or swollen gums
Noticeable infection causing pain or even sickness
Sensitivity to hot and cold foods or beverages
Discoloration in a tooth (this may be due to damaged roots and internal breakdown)
Cracked or chipped teeth damaged enough to allow the entry of bacteria

How Can I Benefit From a Root Canal Treatment?

So, if you suffer from an infected or highly damaged tooth, why not opt for an extraction?

Patients who undergo successful root canal treatments can expect some of the following benefits:

Alleviation of pain
Restored function
Cosmetic benefits for teeth that once showed signs of decay, chipping, or other damage
Continued support for surrounding teeth and gums

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect after a root canal procedure?

If you have an infected tooth and need a root canal, your Winter Springs dentist can remove the infection and alleviate your pain. However, what should you expect once the root canal procedure is complete? Keep reading to learn what you need to know after undergoing root canal therapy.

What Happens after a Root Canal?

Once your root canal treatment is complete, here are some helpful tips for a smooth recovery:

Comfort – You may experience aches or sensitivity after a root canal, but you can take over-the-counter pain medication to combat the discomfort. If your face is swollen, use an ice pack to reduce the swelling and numb the area. Although you may be uncomfortable, you should not be in pain once the infection is removed.

Food – You should eat soft foods such as yogurt, oatmeal, and eggs for a few days after your procedure. Also, focus on chewing on the opposite side of your mouth.

Smoking – If you smoke or vape, try to avoid it because the chemicals can slow the healing process.

Exercise – Avoid exercising for a few days since it can slow your healing time.

Rest – Resting and allowing your body to heal after root canal therapy is essential.

How long does a root canal treatment take?

Root canal treatment times vary depending on the complexity of your tooth infection. A minor or emerging root canal infection may take approximately 30 minutes, but a severe or complex tooth infection may take more than an hour. Your dentist can give you an estimate based on the exam or x-ray findings.

Fortunately, you’ll not feel pain during treatment. Root canal therapy is designed instead to relieve pain.

About Root Canals in Winter Springs, FL

If you have a tooth root infection, you’ll likely have some or all of the following symptoms:

A toothache or increased sensitivity
Jaw or face swelling near the painful tooth
A bump or blister on the gum near the painful tooth
Tooth darkening or discoloration

Sometimes, if the infection is only emerging or the nerve is damaged, you may not have pain. However, root infections are dental emergencies and require prompt treatment with your emergency dentist in Winter Springs, FL.

We numb the painful tooth and surrounding tissue when you come in for treatment. Then, we extract the infection from the tooth’s center. We rinse and close with a temporary filling material to keep the canal clean and promote healing. At a future visit, we typically crown the tooth to restore function.

Without treatment, pain can increase, and the infection may spread. Call a team member today for guidance.
