A root canal is often the go-to treatment for teeth that have suffered severe damage due to unchecked decay, and it’s arguably the best way to ensure that a tooth is able to healthily remain a part of your smile. If you have a toothache that won’t let up, don’t wait to contact our dental office for more information about how root canal treatment in Grenada might be able to help!
The very first thing our team will do before your root canal is numb your mouth so that you don’t feel any outright pain during (or after) the procedure. A small opening is made into the tooth’s inner chamber, and the damaged/infected portion of the pulp is carefully removed. A special material called gutta percha can be used to fill in the tooth, and it’s then sanitized and sealed back up before being fitted with a dental crown to protect it from future harm. Despite their reputation, root canals are a fairly quick, straightforward, and pain-free process!
