What Is Root Canal Treatment?
At Oasis Smiles Dentistry and Vista Oasis Smiles, care and comfort come first. A damaged or infected tooth can cause pain and lead to serious dental problems. Root canal treatments help remove infection, ease discomfort, and protect your natural smile. A root canal removes the infected pulp inside a tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, and when it gets inflamed or infected, it can cause severe pain and swelling. Symptoms of infected pulp include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling around the gums, and a darkened tooth. Signs you need a root canal may also include discomfort while chewing or an abscess near the tooth. During a root canal procedure, the infected tissue is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. A crown may be placed to restore strength and function. Early treatment prevents complications and preserves the tooth. Schedule a consultation at our San Diego or Vista, CA, location to discuss pain relief and protect your oral health.
How Is Root Canal Treatment Performed?
Advancements in modern dentistry make root canal treatments more comfortable than ever. The area is numbed before the root canal procedure begins, ensuring a comfortable experience. The process involves removing the infected tissue, disinfecting the inner tooth, and sealing it to prevent further issues. Depending on the tooth's condition, a crown may be added for extra protection. After treatment, mild soreness is common for a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers and proper care help with recovery. Patients can return to normal activities soon after the procedure.
What Are the Advantages of Root Canal Therapy?
Saving a natural tooth is always better than extracting it. A root canal procedure restores function, relieves pain, and protects oral health. Benefits of root canal treatment include:
- Pain relief from infection and inflammation
- Preservation of the natural tooth and surrounding bone
- Prevention of further infection or spreading of bacteria
- Improved chewing and speaking ability
- A healthier, long-lasting smile
Oasis Smiles Dentistry Reviews
Dr. Bohr is an experienced and knowlegable professional who provides great service. She is pleasant to work with, gets right to the issue, explains everything clearly, and produces timely results. She understands pain management and offers competitive pricing. I had a dental emergency, (a broken bridge), last Friday in the afternoon. I called Oasis Smiles at about 3pm, and was invited to come in to the office immediately. Even though it was late on a Friday, Dr. Bohr and her staff gave me immediate care, and were able to create a temporary bridge for the emergency. They gave me a followup appointment for Monday morning, and performed everything needed to set up the lab work that was needed to rebuild the bridge. I am very thankful for how they handled my dental emergency, and how quickly they were able to handle what was needed in a timely manner.
I found Oasis Smiles a very friendly place and Dr. Bhore very pleasant to work with. The proceduer was conducted painlessly and the after care was very well explained. I shall recommend this place to all my friends.
Honestly 10/10 from the minute I walked in the door Tracy was so nice and helpful and so funny. Nancy was so kind while helping me in the back as well. The doctor was amazing as well I definitely will be staying here!!! Thank you so much!!
Most important quality of Dr Bhor is she will do what is needed. Suggests what can be done later and does not try to get more work than needed. High quality work, excellent pain management. Tried many dentists in the past but this one stands out.
Most fun I have ever had at the Dentist Office. BetweenTracy and Dr Bhor I was given answers for all my questions and all concerns were addressed. I am extremely comfortable with the treatment plan presented. Retired Navy Master Chief and strongly recommend Vista Oasis Smiles.
