What to Expect During your Root Canal.

A root canal can seem like a scary and painful procedure, but at Clove Dental Riverpark we are sure to make our patients experience as easy and as painless as possible.

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a procedure known as endodontic therapy to treat infections in the tooth pulp. The tooth pulp is the innermost layer of the tooth. When this space gets infected a patient can feel quick, sharp pain from hot or cold drinks and foods as well as from sweets.

What Is a Root Canal Procedure Like?

At Clove Dental Riverpark our endodontic process is done entirely in house so you don’t have to spend time traveling to different specialists. 

During the process your Clove Dental dentist will remove the infected tooth pulp by gently drilling a small hole in your tooth crown to access the infection. Using small instruments, your Clove Dental Riverpark Endodontic Specialist will clear the infected pulp, then clean the chamber and root canal. They will then fill the empty space and seal the tooth. This seal locks out bacteria and will prevent another infection from happening.

After a few weeks your Clove Dental Endodontic Specialist will then place a customized dental crown on your tooth to complete the process.

What is Dental Sleep Sedation?
