Root Canal Therapy
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root Canal Therapy is a crucial dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected. During this procedure, our dentists remove the damaged or infected pulp from inside the tooth, clean and disinfect the root canals, and then seal them to prevent future infections. This treatment is often recommended when a tooth is affected by deep decay, a severe crack, or repeated dental procedures. At Caspian Dental & Orthodontics, we ensure that root canal therapy is performed with precision and care to restore the health and function of your tooth.
Why Should I Get A Root Canal Therapy
- Root canal therapy relieves severe pain caused by infection or inflammation in the tooth’s pulp, allowing you to return to normal daily activities without discomfort.
- By saving the natural tooth, this procedure helps maintain proper bite alignment and prevents the need for more extensive treatments like implants or bridges.
- A successful root canal can extend the life of your tooth for many years, offering a long-term solution.
- Root canal therapy is a cost-effective way to maintain oral health and avoid future dental complications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the signs that I might need a root canal?
Common signs include severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, tenderness when chewing, or visible swelling around the affected tooth. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult with a dentist promptly.
Is a root canal procedure painful?
Root canal therapy is generally not painful, as local anesthesia is used to numb the affected area. Most patients report feeling minimal discomfort during and after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long does a root canal take to complete?
The duration of a root canal varies depending on the complexity of the case but typically takes one to two hours. Some procedures may require multiple visits, especially if additional treatments are needed.
What should I expect after a root canal?
After the procedure, you may experience some soreness or sensitivity in the treated area. This is normal and usually resolves within a few days. Our dentists will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.
Will I need a crown after a root canal?
In most cases, a tooth that has undergone a root canal will need a crown to restore its strength and function. Our dentists will discuss the need for a crown and other potential follow-up treatments during your visit.
