Need a Root Canal?

It can sometimes be an intimidating scenario when your mouth comes under agonizing pain to chew or even talk. That is why here at Orlando Smiles we make sure that every patient feels comfortable when entering our offices so that we can bring comfort to their mouths in their time of need. A very common occurrence that could bring such a sharp pain to one’s mouth is when there is a need for a root canal.

A root canal is necessary when the actual pulp and living tissue that resides inside a patient’s tooth becomes infected and begins to painfully decay. In the event of a tooth’s decaying becoming too painful and therefore hindering everyday functions, a procedure known as a root canal can be performed in order to remove the decaying tooth pulp and replace it with a synthetic gel or filling that will stop the tooth from rotting away and maintain structurally sound for the purpose of chewing and talking.

This procedure, while sounding intense, is actually very routine and simple at our Orlando Dentist office. Our trained and professional staff are well versed in handling this procedure, both from the relations aspect in making our patients feel as comfortable and at ease as possible once in our office to handle the actual tooth-and-grind of filling your root with little to no pain at all.

Our Orlando Dental Office also makes sure that each patient is fully aware of all the necessary aftercare procedures that should be followed once the root canal procedure is finished. Making sure that the tooth is kept dry and clean for a few hours while some of the sealant dries is very important to assure a quicker healing process. You must then make sure to now chew any hard foods for a few days while your gum and tooth both adjust to the recently added filling. The dental assistants here at Orlando Smiles will be glad to answer any other questions you may have regarding the procedure or aftercare.
