Root Canal Treatment
When bacteria reach the inside of a tooth, they can cause inflammation or infection that may lead to persistent pain, sensitivity, or swelling. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue and cleans the inside of the tooth so we can seal and preserve it.
At Select Dental Care, we use GentleWave technology to enhance the cleaning and disinfection process. Rather than relying solely on traditional instruments, GentleWave uses advanced fluid dynamics and acoustic energy to help move cleaning solutions throughout the root canal system.
Why Do We Use GentleWave?
Root canals can have small, narrow, or complex areas that are difficult to access with instruments alone. GentleWave helps circulate cleaning solutions throughout the canal system, including areas that may be difficult to reach mechanically. Our goal is to thoroughly clean the inside of the tooth while preserving as much healthy natural tooth structure as possible.
What Happens During Treatment?
We begin by numbing the tooth to keep you comfortable. We then access the inside of the tooth, remove the infected or damaged tissue, and use GentleWave to clean and disinfect the root canal system.
After cleaning, we fill and seal the canals. Depending on the condition of your tooth, we may recommend a crown or other restoration to protect it and restore its strength.
What Happens After a Root Canal?
You may experience some tenderness for a few days following treatment. We provide clear aftercare instructions and monitor your progress as the tooth heals.
