The Root Canal Treatment Process

When bacteria are allowed to reach the innermost chambers of your tooth, the infection can quickly spread and destroy the soft pulp within. This pulp chamber contains blood vessels, connective tissue, and various nerves, all of which are critical to the vitality of the tooth. When the pulp is infected, the patient may experience mild sensitivity, extreme pain, or even a complete lack of sensation. The latter typically occurs when the nerves of the tooth have already succumbed to the infection. Signs of a possible root canal infection include:

• Darkening of the tooth enamel
• Sensitivity to hot and cold beverages and foods
• An abscess in the gum tissue surrounding the affected tooth
• Persistent throbbing or an ache in the tooth and/or jaw

If a root canal treatment is deemed necessary in order to save your tooth, Dr. Lamond will care for the infected tooth by removing the pulp and thoroughly disinfecting the chamber. The area is then filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha and sealed with a crown to prevent further damage. The crown is custom-crafted to precisely fit into your smile, providing your tooth with the structural stability it needs in a way that looks natural.
