ROOT CANAL

WHAT IS A ROOT CANAL?

• A root canal is a reparative procedure that

prevents decay from damaging the pulp and nerves at the center of

the tooth.

ARE THEY PAINFUL?

• Most people are terrified at the thought of a root canal.

• Most of the time, we associate root canals with extreme pain and discomfort.

• However, our trained dentists will make your root canal procedure as painless as possible so you have nothing to be afraid of!

PROCESS

The steps of a root canal procedure:

The patient’s tooth is completely numbed.

The pulp and nerve of the tooth are removed.

The inside of the tooth is both cleaned and sealed.

A special filling is placed inside the tooth to help repair the tooth’s core.

A temporary tooth-colored crown is placed on top of the tooth until a new one is created.

EASY ROOT CANAL?

• The key to an easy root canal is speed, precision, and efficiency.

• In addition, quality sedative dentistry techniques are used to insure minimal pain.

• Patients can choose between Nitrous Oxide, oral sedation, or IV sedation.

• Our board certified anesthesiologists at FC Smiles promise to give you the safest and most effective sedatives possible so you will barely feel a thing while you have this procedure.

DON’T WAIT!

• Even if you are hesitant about receiving a root canal, remember that if an infection such as this goes untreated you will be undergoing more pain and inflicting more damage on your body.
