A severe toothache or infection can make daily life uncomfortable, but you don’t have to suffer. At Stamford Green Dental, we offer gentle and effective root canal treatment to relieve pain, eliminate infection, and preserve your natural tooth. With modern techniques and anesthesia, root canals are now more comfortable and efficient than ever.
A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth. This treatment is necessary when decay, deep cavities, or trauma cause inflammation or infection in the tooth’s inner chamber. By removing the infected tissue, cleaning the area, and sealing it, we can save the tooth and prevent further complications.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
You may need a root canal if you experience:
✅ Severe, persistent tooth pain
✅ Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
✅ Swelling or tenderness in the gums
✅ A pimple-like bump on the gums near the affected tooth
✅ Deep decay or darkening of the tooth
✅ Pain when biting or chewing
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to worsening infection, abscess formation, or even tooth loss. A root canal can relieve pain and restore the health of your tooth, allowing you to smile and eat comfortably again.
Our pain-free root canal treatment is typically completed in one or two visits and follows these steps:
1️⃣ Examination & Diagnosis – We use digital X-rays to assess the extent of the infection.
2️⃣ Local Anesthesia – Your tooth and surrounding area are numbed to ensure a completely pain-free experience.
3️⃣ Infected Pulp Removal – The damaged tissue inside the tooth is carefully removed.
4️⃣ Cleaning & Disinfection – The inner tooth chamber is cleaned, disinfected, and shaped.
5️⃣ Sealing the Tooth – The tooth is filled with a biocompatible material to prevent future infection.
6️⃣ Restoration (Crown Placement) – A dental crown is often placed to restore the tooth’s strength and function.
