What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a procedure to remove infected pulp at the base of the tooth. Bacteria enter this area through a cavity, a broken tooth, or the gums, and the main chamber or smaller canals become infected and inflamed, causing swelling and pain. A lack of treatment leads to further infection, and tooth decay, and affects your physical health. Skilled endodontists at Bond Street Dental remove the infected area, clean it, and seal the tooth to prevent further infection. It is a common procedure with 41,000 root canals in the U.S. daily, totaling 15 million yearly.

Emergency Pain and Root Canals
Some patients come into the office as emergency dental patients because of intense pain. We will take X-rays and prescribe antibiotics to reduce the infection until you get a root canal. Eat a good meal before your endodontic appointment because your mouth will be numb after the root canal, preventing you from eating for a few hours.
Local anesthesia is typically used so you won’t feel any pain but will feel some pressure during the root canal procedure. Sedation is available for patients with high anxiety or other physical issues.
Root canals typically take an hour or less but some can take longer if the tooth is larger with more roots, is broken, or there are complications.
The process involves the endodontist numbing the area, isolating the tooth, and opening the crown to access the infected area. Tiny tools with wires are used to remove the pulp and infection. The area is cleaned and the dentist “shapes” the canal. A dental material, gutta-percha, is put into the empty space to prevent bacteria from returning. The canals are sealed with adhesive cement.
A root canal sometimes requires two appointments. One is to remove the infection and a second appointment is scheduled to put a crown over the tooth to protect it from further infection. Crowns are customized so it can take a week or two to get them. A temporary crown will be placed on the tooth until the second appointment. A dentist may instruct you to continue antibiotics for a few days after a root canal.
