Fixing the Root Cause of Your Problems

Fast & Easy Root Canals in Windsor and Manchester, CT

Have you been experiencing dental pain? If so, it could be time for a root canal. This common procedure is performed by dentists to save teeth that are severely decayed or infected. At the Signature Smile office, we use the latest technology to ensure that your root canal is as comfortable and efficient as possible.

What Causes the Need for a Root Canal?

Toothaches are a vivid reminder that teeth aren't just pieces of hard tissue floating around in the gums. They're intricately formed sensory organs with layers of dentin and enamel overlaying a living pulp. Coursing through the tooth's pulp is a vital bundle of nerves and blood vessels providing nutrients and sensation to each tooth. As long as the pulp stays healthy, you're rarely aware of the systems at work. If the pulp does not stay healthy, a root canal may be necessary.

When Tooth Pain Requires Special Attention

Tooth pain is usually an indicator that something isn't right. A deep cavity can give bacteria access to the inner nerve bundle that causes this pain. In some cases, an abscess may develop in your jaw without any symptoms at all. If our doctors determine that the nerve won't recover or if an infection is present, then root canal therapy may be suggested. Modern anesthetics provide powerful numbing for gentle removal of the inflamed nerve inside the tooth. The nerve canal undergoes disinfection and careful shaping, and a sealer fills the internal space. A filling or crown over the tooth helps return the tooth to its original function.

The Root Canal Treatment Process

Many patients are scared of root canals, which is why we have taken the time to outline our process. This way, patients know what to expect and can come to our office the day of their appointment prepared to ask questions and/or voice any concerns. If you have a root canal appointment coming up, it may be helpful to understand that you can expect the following to occur:

The first step in root canal therapy is to numb the area around the tooth so that you will not feel any pain during the procedure. 

Next, your dentist will create an opening in the tooth so that the damaged pulp can be removed. 

Once the pulp is removed, the root canal will be cleaned and sealed. 

In some cases, a dental crown may also be placed on the tooth to protect it from future damage.
