There are times in a patient's life where he or she may be faced with the idea of undergoing root canal therapy. Root canal treatment is offered to patients who have an abscess on their tooth, an infection, or a deep cavity that has reached the dental pulp and caused discomfort and pain. When situations like this arise, Dr. Pasquier of Miami Modern Dental may recommend that patients have a root canal treatment done.
During an initial consultation appointment, Dr. Pasquier will describe in detail the root canal process. Miami Modern Dental is committed to helping patients maintain their natural smiles, which in some cases, means having root canal therapy done to keep a natural tooth from being extracted and restored. Root canal treatment can help save the tooth and is a last resort before extracting the tooth.
The root canal process starts with the numbing of the area. Local anesthetics are used to numb the tooth and gums, and Dr. Pasquier is then able to drill into the tooth to reach the innermost portion of the tooth, called the dental pulp. The dental pulp of the tooth holds the blood supply and nerves of a tooth, and needs to be removed to eliminate pain and discomfort. It is taken out via the use of small instruments, and then the inside of the patient's tooth is disinfected. It is cleaned thoroughly to remove any infection or bacteria. After this, the tooth is filled and sealed. In cases in which the root canal is completed near the back of the mouth, Dr. Pasquier may also place a dental crown on top to protect the now weakened tooth.
Dr. Pasquier and the team at Miami Modern Dental offer root canal therapy for those who need to address damage and infection of the dental pulp. It is an affordable alternative to extraction, and can be a great way to maintain the natural tooth within the smile. Extracting teeth and restoring them through cosmetic means such as dental bridges, dental implants, and dentures are not always the best solutions for patients, so Dr. Pasquier will often suggest root canal therapy before removing the problem tooth.
If you think you may have an infection or problem that is reaching the dental pulp and causing pain, visit Dr. Pasquier for emergency dental care. Call Miami Modern Dental today to schedule a consultation appointment and full examination to determine the source of your discomfort.
