At MYO Medical Center, we understand that needing a root canal treatment can be a daunting prospect for many patients. However, our experienced dental team is committed to providing gentle and effective care to alleviate pain, save teeth, and restore oral health. Here's what you can expect from root canal treatment at MYO Medical Center:
1. Thorough Evaluation: Before recommending a root canal procedure, our skilled dentists will conduct a comprehensive examination of your affected tooth, including X-rays and other diagnostic tests. We'll assess the extent of damage, identify the cause of your symptoms, and determine if root canal therapy is the appropriate course of action.
2. Patient Comfort and Sedation Options: We prioritize your comfort throughout the root canal procedure. Our dental team will ensure that you are adequately numbed with local anesthesia before beginning treatment to minimize any discomfort. Additionally, we offer sedation options such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral sedatives for patients who experience dental anxiety or require additional relaxation during the procedure.
3. Precise and Minimally Invasive Treatment: Root canal therapy involves removing infected or damaged tissue from the inside of the tooth (the pulp) and thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the root canals. Our dentists utilize advanced techniques and instruments to perform the procedure with precision and minimal trauma to surrounding tissues, ensuring optimal outcomes and faster healing.
4. Customized Treatment Plans: Every patient's case is unique, and we tailor our root canal treatment plans to address individual needs and circumstances. Whether you require treatment for a single tooth or multiple teeth, our goal is to save as much natural tooth structure as possible while effectively eliminating infection and preserving oral function.
5. Restoration of Tooth Structure: After cleaning and shaping the root canals, the tooth is filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal the space and prevent reinfection. Depending on the extent of damage, a dental crown or filling may be placed to strengthen and protect the tooth, restoring its appearance and function.
6. Post-Treatment Care and Follow-Up: Following root canal treatment, our dental team will provide you with detailed instructions for post-treatment care to promote healing and prevent complications. We'll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, evaluate the success of the procedure, and ensure your continued oral health.
At MYO Medical Center, we are committed to providing compassionate and effective root canal treatment to help you maintain a healthy and functional smile. If you are experiencing tooth pain or other symptoms of dental infection, don't delay seeking treatment.
