A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). It’s often necessary when the pulp inside the tooth, made up of nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected due to decay or injury. A root canal procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection.
Our approach to root canals at Ridgeland Dental includes:
Expert Diagnosis: Our dentists start with detailed imaging and examinations to accurately diagnose the extent of the infection and determine the most effective treatment plan.
Advanced Treatment Procedures: We utilize the latest techniques and equipment to perform root canals, ensuring the procedure is as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
Focused on Patient Comfort: Understanding the anxiety often associated with root canals, we offer a compassionate approach, ensuring our patients are relaxed and informed throughout the procedure.
Post-Procedure Care: After the root canal, we provide comprehensive guidelines for post-procedure care to ensure a quick and smooth recovery. We also offer follow-up appointments to monitor the recovery and ensure the long-term success of the treatment.
