The often misunderstood root canal has been known to strike fear into the bravest of patients. However, much of that fear is based on a mischaracterization of this general dentistry treatment. A root canal is, in fact, one of the most painless dental procedures you will ever go through. Considering that the benefits are plentiful, we encourage all our patients to rethink any negative feelings they have towards a root canal.

A root canal treatment is carried out when the pulp of the teeth become infected. When the only way to treat the infection is through removing the pulp, Chester Road Family Dental will recommend root canal treatment. You will recover quickly after treatment, and the pain and discomfort caused by the infection will become a distant memory.

Root Canals Offer Pain Relief for Infected Teeth!

Besides removing the infection from the pulp, a root canal offers complete pain relief. This kind of infection is often associated with severe tooth pain, which requires intervention from Chester Road Family Dental. Once the infection is removed, we will use a special filler in the tooth and then seal the tooth to prevent any further infection.

Scaling and Root Planing

At Chester Road Family Dental, we use a comprehensive exam to determine the cause of any dental conditions you may have. We are able to detect infected pulp in the teeth and recommend a root canal as the best treatment option. The treatment does not require a large number of appointments. In some cases, we may be able to provide treatment during a single appointment.
