Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?
- When the pulp inside your tooth becomes inflamed or infected—often from deep decay, a crack, or past dental trauma—a root canal can restore your oral health.
- Common signs include:
- Ongoing or intense tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Tooth discoloration
- Early evaluation is key. Left untreated, the infection can spread and lead to more serious dental and health issues.
The Root Canal Process
Step 1: Diagnosis and Planning
Dr. Baioni will perform a thorough exam and take X-rays
to determine the extent of the damage and map the shape of your tooth’s root canals.
Step 2: Comfort First
You’ll receive local anesthesia to keep you pain-free, and a small
protective sheet called a rubber dam will be placed to keep the tooth clean and dry.
Step 3: Cleaning the Canals
A small opening is made in the tooth, and the infected pulp is
carefully removed. The canals are then cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.
Step 4: Filling and Sealing
Once the canals are prepared, they’re filled with a safe,
biocompatible material to prevent reinfection. A temporary filling may be placed until your permanent restoration is
ready.
Step 5: Restoring Your Tooth
Most teeth treated with root canal therapy need a crown to
restore full function and strength—so you can chew, smile, and speak comfortably again.
