Root canal treatment stands as a vital procedure for rescuing teeth compromised by deep decay or infection within their nerve. This therapy involves carefully removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning the interior of the tooth, and then sealing it to prevent further issues. Dr. SIddhi Patel and Dr. Molly Joseph utilize laser technology during this process, enhancing precision while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.

With advancements in dental technology, especially the use of lasers, root canal therapy has become significantly more comfortable. Lasers allow for precise removal of infected tissue with minimal discomfort, and most patients experience relief from pain caused by tooth infection immediately after the procedure.
Laser root canal treatment offers enhanced precision in removing infected pulp, leading to a cleaner and more thorough decontamination of the tooth's interior. This method often results in less swelling and discomfort post-treatment and can preserve more of your natural tooth structure compared to traditional techniques.
Common indicators include severe toothache when chewing or applying pressure, prolonged sensitivity/pain to heat or cold temperatures, discoloration darkening tooth gums tenderness swelling area noticeable abscess pimple nearby. If experiencing any these symptoms important consult dentist promptly.
Absolutely, the primary goal of root canal therapy is to save your natural tooth from extraction by removing the infected or inflamed pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inner chamber, and then sealing it to prevent re-infection. Successfully treated teeth can last as long as natural ones, ensuring you maintain your oral health and smile integrity for years to come. It is important to note that although a root canal can save the tooth from extraction it is more susceptible to fracturing without a crown.
Recovery after a laser root canal treatment is typically swift; many patients are able to resume their normal activities by the next day. It's common to experience some sensitivity or mild discomfort in the treated area initially, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. We may schedule a follow-up visit to ensure that healing is progressing well and address any concerns promptly.
