If an infection has reached the inside portion of your tooth, Dr. Solis may recommend a root canal procedure. Despite its reputation, this treatment actually gets you out of pain. It can also save your tooth from removal. However, knowing what you can expect can often minimize any anxiety. Here is what will happen:
Thorough Exam – Your dentist will perform a thorough exam and take any necessary X-rays. It helps him assess the extent of the infection and plan the procedure.
Numbing Your Mouth – Your dental team will use local anesthesia to numb your mouth. We will ensure you’re comfortable throughout your appointment.
Cleaning the Tooth – Dr. Solis will use special instruments to remove the infected tissue. He will also clean out the area thoroughly.
Filling the Tooth –The disinfected tooth is filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. Your dentist will then cap your tooth with a crown or filling.
After the procedure, your dentist will review any aftercare instructions. Plus, he may have you return for a follow-up appointment to ensure the healing is going smoothly. You’ll also receive customized oral hygiene tips to ensure you avoid any future infection. Regular dental checkups and good dental health practices are key to maintaining the health of your smile

Common Questions About Root Canals
Why have a root canal? +–
When the soft inner portion of a tooth (known as the pulp) becomes infected, it can produce intense pain. This can happen as a result of an untreated cavity or an injury to the tooth that allows bacteria inside. A root canal involves removing the diseased pulp, sterilizing the tooth, and sealing it with a rubberlike material and a crown.
Are root canals painful? +–
Although root canals have been made out to be the bad guy of dentistry, they are actually very beneficial. In the right hands, a root canal treatment doesn’t produce any more discomfort than you would experience from getting a tooth filling. Even so, we’ll use local anesthetic to ensure a comfortable procedure.
What does a root canal do? +–
Root canal therapy is a treatment that can stop the throbbing pain of a diseased tooth, save the tooth from extraction, and prevent further damage to your other teeth and your gums. Many people fear root canals, but they are actually no more painful than having a tooth filled.
