At Allegro Smiles in Rochester, NY, we are committed to preserving your natural teeth and ensuring optimal oral health. Non-surgical root canal therapy is a gentle and effective treatment designed to save severely infected or damaged teeth, relieving pain and restoring function.

What Is Non-Surgical Root Canal Therapy?

Non-surgical root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, involves removing infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside the tooth. This procedure aims to save a tooth that might otherwise require extraction, allowing you to maintain your natural smile.

Benefits of Non-Surgical Root Canal Therapy

  • Preserve Your Natural Tooth: Avoid extraction and keep your natural tooth structure intact, maintaining the stability of your bite.
  • Pain Relief: Alleviate severe tooth pain caused by infection or inflammation.
  • Prevent Spread of Infection: Remove harmful bacteria to protect surrounding teeth and gums from further infection.
  • Restore Normal Function: Regain the ability to chew and speak comfortably without discomfort or sensitivity.

The Root Canal Therapy Procedure

Our non-surgical root canal treatment typically involves the following steps:

  1. Consultation: We’ll assess your oral health, evaluate the affected tooth, and discuss the treatment plan with you.
  2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
  3. Removal of Infected Pulp: The infected or inflamed pulp is carefully removed from the tooth.
  4. Cleaning and Shaping: The root canal is thoroughly cleaned and shaped to prepare for filling.
  5. Filling the Canal: The cleaned space is filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal the canal and prevent reinfection.
  6. Restoration: A temporary or permanent filling is placed to close the access opening.
  7. Final Restoration: Depending on the tooth’s condition, a crown may be recommended to protect and strengthen it.

Caring for Your Treated Tooth

Proper care after your root canal therapy is essential for long-term success:

  • Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
  • Be Mindful of Your Diet: Avoid hard or sticky foods that could damage the restored tooth.
  • Regular Dental Visits: Schedule follow-up appointments at Allegro Smiles to monitor healing and ensure everything is progressing well.
