What is a Root Canal?

Are you experiencing severe pain in a tooth when you chew? Do you have prolonged sensitivity in your tooth to cold or hot temperatures? In all likelihood, you need endodontics or a root canal procedure.

Many Gilbert, AZ residents get stressed when they are advised to get endodontic treatment. That is because they do not know what an endodontics procedure exactly is and believe it to be very painful.

At Hall Family Dentistry, we want to remove any misgivings you may have about a root canal procedure that Gilbert residents may have. Endodontics is a painless, hassle-free dental procedure for treating a tooth with an infected nerve or pulp. Traditionally, the treatment in such cases was tooth extraction.

But, thanks to the introduction of endodontics treatment, it is now possible to save the tooth by cleaning out the infected root, putting in dental fillings, and sealing it with a crown.

We advise a checkup to determine the need for root canal procedure if you have a prolonged toothache, as well as symptoms like:

  • Tenderness or swelling of gums
  • Recurring Pimple on gums
  • Discoloration of the tooth

A Root Canal Procedure Can Help Save Teeth in Gilbert

There are two ways to treat a bacterial infection in your tooth: remove the tooth or remove the bacteria! With tooth extraction, there is the risk of disturbing the nearby healthy teeth.

Even worse, you get saddled with the additional expense of a tooth implant.

Our endodontics treatment, on the other hand, removes the bacteria-infected tooth pulp and leaves the natural tooth in place, then filling the cavity.

We help save teeth with our flawless root canal procedure for Gilbert patients. Our dentists are diligent throughout the endodontics treatment, taking care to:

  • Remove the diseased dental pulp completely
  • Put suitable medications in pulp chamber to prevent re-infection
  • Fill and seal the tooth cavity tightly
