Frequently Asked Questions
Severe toothache, sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, discolouration of the tooth, and tenderness in the gums are all potential signs that a root canal treatment may be necessary.
Sometimes, a root canal treatment saves an infected tooth rather than requiring tooth extraction. However, it’s important to note that a root canal may not be necessary for every case of infection, and the extent of damage to the tooth structure will play a role in determining the best treatment option.
At Butler Dental, the initial consultation for root canal treatment begins with a comprehensive examination that includes x-rays and images taken with an intraoral camera, allowing for a detailed evaluation of the overall oral health.
During this dental visit, the team will evaluate everything from the gum tissue around the affected tooth to the structure of the pulp chamber. The dentist will also take a complete medical history to assess potential risks before dental treatment begins.
The dental procedure is minimally invasive and typically completed in one or two visits. If necessary, the dentist may place a temporary filling to protect the tooth until the root canal treatment is complete.
Inhalation sedation offers a safe and controlled environment to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation during root canal treatment. At Butler Dental, this type of sedation is used to help patients feel more comfortable during their root canal procedure.
The highly trained and experienced dentists administer the nitrous oxide and oxygen mix through a small mask, allowing the patient to breathe normally. It is not intended to put the patient to sleep but to reduce anxiety and promote a more relaxed state of mind. Patients can still hear and respond to any requests or directions from the dentist.
With the help of these sedation options, patients can have a pleasing smile without feeling any fear or anxiety.
The recovery duration after a root canal procedure can vary depending on individual circumstances, but most patients experience a significant improvement within a few days.
To ensure a successful recovery, following good oral hygiene practices such as brushing, flossing, and using an antiseptic mouthwash is important. Additionally, patients should avoid putting too much pressure on the treated tooth until it is fully recovered.
Some factors that can affect the recovery time after a root canal procedure include the severity of the initial infection, the patient’s health, gum disease, broken teeth, discoloured tooth, knocked-out teeth, and the type of root canal procedure performed.
With proper care and attention, most patients can experience a full recovery from their root canal treatment within a few days.
It is common to experience mild discomfort or sensitivity in the treated area after a root canal treatment, usually managed with over-the-counter pain relief medication.
The amount of discomfort and the duration for which it persists can vary from person to person, depending on factors such as the health of the tooth before the treatment, the type of tooth (adult tooth, baby tooth, functional tooth, etc.), the type of root canal treatment, and the amount of trauma to the tooth during treatment.
The discomfort is generally most pronounced in the first few days after the treatment and gradually subsides.
At Butler Dental, we strive to ensure the comfort and safety of our patients during the treatment process, and our experienced team provides detailed aftercare instructions to help manage any post-treatment discomfort.
Root canal treatment at Butler Dental is a vital procedure that helps preserve teeth by removing the damaged or diseased pulp inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the canals, and sealing the space to prevent further infection. This helps maintain the original tooth’s natural alignment and functionality and eliminates persistent tooth pain.
Custom-designed dental crowns are placed over the area if needed, and our dedicated dentists use custom-made fillings, such as composite fillings, to restore the tooth to its original shape.
Root canal treatment helps to preserve the connective tissue, which helps to protect the surrounding teeth and gums from infection. As such, root canal treatment at Butler Dental is important to maintaining your oral health.
