Our Root Canal Services
Root Canal Therapy
All Pearly Whites Dental Care root canal procedures start with a carefully administered injection. Once the site is numb, your dentist will remove the infected or injured pulp, clean the inside of the tooth, and then fill and seal the space to prevent further infection. This process relieves pain, saves the tooth from extraction, and preserves your natural smile. Root canals are typically followed by a restoration.
Post & Core Build-Up
After a root canal, the tooth often requires further restoration to return it to its full function and appearance. Posts and core build-ups help strengthen teeth that have undergone root canal therapy and lost their structure. The “post” is a type of dental restoration inserted into the tooth’s root to stabilize the tooth and support the new “core” material. This core provides a strong foundation for a crown or other restoration that will be placed over the tooth.
Root Canal FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prepare for a root canal?
+Discuss any concerns or allergies with your dentist before your appointment. We recommend eating a healthy meal beforehand since you might need to wait a few hours post-procedure before eating again. Good oral hygiene is important, so brush your teeth and floss before your root canal treatment. Arrange for someone to drive you home if your dentist plans to use sedation during the procedure.
Does insurance typically cover root canal therapy?
+Yes, dental insurance typically covers root canal therapy. However, coverage can vary depending on factors such as whether the dentist is in-network and the tooth being treated. Most plans cover a portion of the cost, but there may be deductibles, copays, or maximum limits to consider. Consult with your insurance provider before the procedure to understand your coverage details and any out-of-pocket expenses you might be responsible for.
What should I expect after a root canal procedure?
+After a root canal, it’s normal to experience some tenderness for a few days. We will advise you to avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it’s fully restored with a permanent filling or crown. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly and avoid biting on hard foods to prevent damage to the treated area. Most patients can return to normal activities the next day.
