Root Canal Treatment Redmond WA

Root Canal Treatment Redmond WA

If you have been told that you need a Root Canal Treatment Redmond WA, Dr. Kunal Narang of Sunrise Dental in Redmond has solutions for you. But first, you probably have a dozen questions about what a root canal is and how it is done.

What is a Root Canal Treatment?

It is a procedure that removes bacteria from an infected root canal, fills and seals the tooth against further infection, and preserves the natural tooth. The main goal of an endodontist is to save natural teeth whenever possible.

When is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?

There are many reasons why your dentist may recommend root canal treatment. The first sign of possible trouble is sensitive teeth, particularly to hot and cold. Tooth damage may be the result of a cracked tooth, issues stemming from a previous filling, or a deep cavity.

As with most dental problems, there are symptoms that may be present if you need treatment:

• Formation of pimples on gum tissue
• Chipped or cracked tooth
• Sensitivity to hot or cold (or both)
• Severe pain while biting or chewing
• Deep decay or a darkened area on the gums
• Swollen or tender gum tissue

Dental problems don’t just “go away” with a few salt-water rinses. If you are experiencing any discomfort in your mouth, please seek out appropriate dental care.

What Happens With a Root Canal Treatment?

Although root canals are a fairly complex procedure, Dr. Kunal has more than a decade of experience in this area. With a goal of minimizing pain and maintaining patient comfort, he works hard to keep patients at ease during treatment.

The first thing that happens is local anesthesia. This numbs the area around the tooth to reduce pain during the procedure. While very similar to a standard filling or tooth extraction, patients may be a bit sore afterward, with minor discomfort over a couple of days.

The procedure involves removing the pulp from the inside of the tooth to clear out infection and bacteria. After that, the tooth is sealed against further infection. A root canal treatment is very similar to having a tooth filled, although it sometimes requires more than one appointment.
