However, if you have an infected, decayed, or abscessed tooth, you may find yourself in need of a root canal.\u00a0<\/p><p>You can rely on our highly trained and experienced Cupertino dentists to alleviate your pain and preserve your natural tooth. Keeping your smile whole and healthy is what we\u2019re all about, which is why we offer this vital dental service.<\/p><h3>What Is A Root Canal?<\/h3><p>When bacteria attack, they eat through the layers of your teeth. Enamel, the hard outer layer, is affected first, followed by the softer dentin layer, then finally to the inner part of your tooth, called the root canal. The root canal is the layer that contains the\u00a0<b>pulp.<\/b><\/p><p>If tooth decay reaches the pulp, or the deepest layer of the tooth, root canal treatment may be necessary to save the tooth. During\u00a0<b>root canal therapy<\/b>, we\u2019ll clean out the infected tooth, seal the tooth, and place a dental crown for extra protection.<\/p><h3>Signs You May Need Root Canal Therapy<\/h3><p>Symptoms of an infected root canal are similar to those of a cavity. However, the pain is likely to be more severe and may include the following symptoms:<\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Severe tooth pain<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Tender or swollen gums<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Difficulty chewing<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Tooth discoloration\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Tenderness of the lymph nodes<\/li><\/ul><p>For some, noticeable symptoms of an infected root canal may never develop. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to schedule regular checkups and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/smilegallery.com\/contact-us\">contact us<\/a>\u00a0immediately if you\u2019re experiencing any chronic tooth pain. We\u2019ll determine the best course of action to help alleviate the pain.<\/p><h3>The Root Canal Treatment Process<\/h3><p>Before the procedure starts, we\u2019ll apply a local anesthetic to numb the tooth and surrounding tissue to ensure you feel no discomfort. Once your tooth is numb, one of our expert Cupertino dentists will create a small entry point in the crown of the infected tooth.\u00a0<\/p><p>We\u2019ll remove the pulp, disinfect the inside of the tooth, and use a rubber-like material called\u00a0<b>gutta-percha<\/b>\u00a0to seal the root canal. A composite resin filling is later placed over the access hole. Then, our Cupertino team will place a natural-looking\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/smilegallery.com\/uncategorized\/cerec-one-day\/\">dental crown<\/a>\u00a0over the tooth. This will help ensure additional strength and protection.<\/p><p>The entire procedure typically involves little to no pain and will keep your infected tooth from becoming an even bigger problem. Root canal therapy tends to be less expensive than having the tooth extracted and replaced, which allows us to preserve the natural tooth.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We want to help smiles stay healthy with endodontic care from Cupertino Dental and Facial Esthetics!
