For many, the words “root canal” can mean pain and discomfort. However, in Advanced Smiles Dentistry we offer a stress-free dental experience.
The fear of root canal treatments is largely based on outdated perceptions. Thanks to modern advancements in dental care, root canals are now a routine, painless procedure that can effectively save your tooth and relieve pain.
For example, one of the main reasons root canals have become painless is due to significant advancements in anesthetics. Local anesthesia is used to numb the affected area completely, ensuring that the patient does not feel any pain during the procedure. For patients with dental anxiety, we offer other options like IV sedation with an anesthesiologist or sedative medication.
Equally important, the use of state-of-the-art technology has a crucial role in making root canals painless. High-resolution pictures, such as digital X-rays and CT scans, allow us to get a detailed view of the tooth’s structure and infection. This precision helps in effectively planning and executing the procedure, reducing the risk of complications and ensuring a smoother experience.
Correspondingly, our endodontists are highly trained in performing root canals with minimal discomfort. Not to mention that we only work with experienced specialists.
What is a root canal therapy?
A root canal is necessary when the pulp inside your tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or a crack in the tooth. If left untreated, this infection can lead to severe pain and abscess formation. Root canal therapy involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canal system, and sealing it to prevent further infection.
A root canal doesn’t have to be painful. At our Tijuana dental clinic, we combine advanced technology, skilled professionals, and a patient-centered approach to ensure your root canal experience is as painless and stress-free as possible. If you’re experiencing tooth pain or suspect you need a root canal, don’t hesitate to contact us and schedule an appointment. Your comfort and oral health are our top priorities.
