Save Your Natural Tooth and Relieve Pain

A severe toothache or deep cavity can be signs of an infected or damaged tooth. Root canal treatment (endodontic therapy) is a highly effective procedure that removes infection from the tooth’s pulp, relieving pain and saving your natural tooth. At Dr. Besharat’s Clinic, we specialize in painless and advanced root canal treatments, ensuring a comfortable experience and long-term oral health.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure designed to remove infected or inflamed pulp (the inner soft tissue of the tooth) and seal the tooth to prevent further infection.

A root canal becomes necessary when the pulp inside the tooth becomes infected or damaged due to:
✔ Deep decay (untreated cavities)
✔ Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
✔ Cracks, fractures, or trauma to the tooth
✔ Severe gum disease spreading to the root

If left untreated, the infection can spread, leading to severe pain, abscess formation, and possible tooth loss.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Not all toothaches require a root canal, but common symptoms include:

✔ Severe, persistent tooth pain (especially when chewing or biting)
✔ Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures that lingers
✔ Swollen, tender gums around the affected tooth
✔ Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
✔ Pus drainage or an abscess near the gums
✔ A persistent bad taste or bad breath

If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule a consultation at Dr. Besharat’s Clinic to determine if a root canal is necessary.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

1. Saves Your Natural Tooth

Unlike extraction, a root canal allows you to keep your natural tooth, maintaining your natural bite and appearance.

2. Provides Immediate Pain Relief

The procedure removes the infected pulp, eliminating pain and discomfort instantly.

3. Prevents the Spread of Infection

By cleaning and sealing the tooth, a root canal prevents further bacterial growth and protects surrounding teeth.

4. Restores Full Function of Your Tooth

Once treated, the tooth functions normally, allowing you to chew and bite comfortably.

5. Cost-Effective and Long-Lasting Solution

A root canal is more affordable than extracting and replacing a tooth with a dental implant or bridge. With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime.

The Root Canal Procedure at Dr. Besharat’s Clinic

We ensure a comfortable, painless, and effective root canal experience using modern techniques and advanced anesthesia.

Step 1: Diagnosis and X-Ray

✔ A digital X-ray is taken to assess the extent of infection and the shape of the root canals.
✔ A personalized treatment plan is created.

Step 2: Local Anesthesia and Tooth Isolation

✔ The area is numbed using local anesthesia, ensuring a pain-free procedure.
✔ A rubber dam is placed around the tooth to keep it dry and free from bacteria.

Step 3: Removing the Infected Pulp

✔ A small access opening is made on the tooth.
✔ The infected pulp and bacteria are carefully removed from the root canals using specialized instruments.

Step 4: Cleaning, Shaping, and Disinfection

✔ The canals are thoroughly cleaned and shaped to remove all debris.
✔ A disinfecting solution is used to eliminate any remaining bacteria.

Step 5: Filling and Sealing the Root Canals

✔ The empty canals are filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha) to prevent reinfection.
✔ The opening is temporarily sealed with a filling.

Step 6: Final Restoration (Crown Placement)

✔ A permanent filling or dental crown is placed on the tooth to restore its strength and function.

✅ Final Result: A fully functional, pain-free tooth with long-term durability! 😁

Post-Treatment Care: How to Ensure a Smooth Recovery

Most patients recover within a few days with minimal discomfort. Follow these tips for a smooth and quick healing process:

✔ Take prescribed painkillers and antibiotics as directed.
✔ Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it is permanently restored with a crown.
✔ Stick to soft foods like soup, yogurt, and mashed potatoes for the first 24 hours.
✔ Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly.
✔ Visit Dr. Besharat’s Clinic for follow-ups and the final crown placement.

By following these steps, your treated tooth can last a lifetime!
