Expert Root Canal Treatment at Mega Bite Dental

When the inner part of your tooth becomes infected or damaged, a root canal can save the tooth and alleviate pain. At Mega Bite Dental, Dr. Shokri offers expert root canal treatment to restore the health and function of your teeth.

What Is a Root Canal?A root canal is a dental procedure used to remove infected or damaged tissue from the inside of a tooth. The procedure cleans and seals the tooth, preventing further infection and preserving the natural tooth.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

• Severe Toothache: Persistent pain that worsens with pressure or chewing.
• Sensitivity: Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures.
• Swelling: Swelling and tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth.
• Discoloration: Darkening of the tooth, indicating internal damage.

The Root Canal ProcedureAt Mega Bite Dental, we strive to make your root canal treatment as comfortable and stress-free as possible:

• Initial Assessment: Dr. Shokri will examine your tooth and take X-rays to determine the extent of the infection or damage.
• Anesthesia: The area around the affected tooth is numbed to ensure you are comfortable during the procedure.
• Cleaning and Shaping: The infected or damaged pulp is removed, and the root canals are cleaned and shaped.
• Filling and Sealing: The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent further infection.
• Restoration: A crown or filling is placed on the treated tooth to restore its function and appearance.

Aftercare and RecoveryFollowing your root canal, it is important to follow Dr. Shokri’s instructions for care and recovery:

• Oral Hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly.
• Follow-Up Appointments: Attend follow-up appointments at Mega Bite Dental to ensure the treated tooth is healing properly.
• Avoid Hard Foods: Refrain from chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until it is fully restored with a crown or filling.
