What is root canal therapy?

Root canal therapy, known to the medical community as endodontic treatment, is a common dental procedure. It involves cleaning an infected tooth from the inside out. A dentist will remove the contents of the inner tooth chambers, known as the pulp. The infected pulp causes pain when infected because it houses many nerves that alert our body to distress within our oral structure. The offensive pulp is replaced with a body-safe filling.

When is this treatment necessary?

Infected teeth are painful and can interfere with daily life. If left untreated, the infection can take over the tooth nerves and spread to other areas of the smile. This causes severe bad breath and pain and requires the tooth to be extracted. Simply treating the infection before it progresses prevents a host of other problems.

Will it hurt?

No. At Premier Smiles of Charlotte, we properly anesthetize our patients before beginning any potentially uncomfortable procedures to ensure their comfort throughout the entire procedure. During treatment, our caring staff prioritizes patient relaxation.

How long is the healing process?

The healing process varies and depends on many factors unique to the individual patient. For example, older patients can expect a longer healing time. In general, the healing is completed between three to four days.

With caring and patient-focused care we tend to all Bryant, Wesley Heights, and Uptown areas. As well as, patients in Mecklenburg County and the surrounding area can come to Premier Smiles of Charlotte for a gentle root canal therapy.
