Comfortable Root Canal Therapy at Omni Dental
“Root canal” — these two words are synonymous with pain, thanks to a bygone era when dentists didn’t have access to local anesthesia. Fortunately, this association is merely a myth today. Modern root canal procedures are largely painless, with minimal discomfort for the patient.
At Omni Dental, we maintain a welcoming and stress-free environment where our doctors go to great lengths to make certain our patients are comfortable and relaxed at all times. Calming essential oils are constantly diffused into the air throughout the office. During the procedure, you will be resting in a heated and massaging dental chair to help put you at ease. Additionally, we provide tablets, sunglasses, headphones, weighted blankets and other amenities in our treatment rooms, so that our patients may be relaxed, even during a root canal.
What is The Purpose of a Root Canal?
You may need a root canal if you have a tooth afflicted with severe decay, especially if the decay has infiltrated the pulp inside the tooth. A root canal removes this infected pulp, halting the spread of infection. Without a root canal, the infection can migrate throughout your body, and the tooth may need to be completely removed.
Omni Dental also offers post-root canal treatment, typically in the form of an all-porcelain crown.
Indications that you may need a root canal procedure
Below are some indicators to be aware of that could suggest a tooth is infected or has an abscess.
- Jaw discomfort or inflammation
- Intense tooth sensitivity
- Gum bump resembling a pimple
- Puffy, red, or swollen gums
- Possible unpleasant taste or smell in the mouth
If you notice any of the signs mentioned above and think you may have a tooth infection, please reach out to our dental office in McMurray right away. An infected root canal needs prompt care, not just for your comfort but also for your health, safety, and well-being.
We assure your comfort.
If you struggle with dental anxiety, we have the ideal solution for you. Our clinic offers oral sedation to help you feel relaxed during your dental procedure. In addition, we provide neck pillows, blankets, and TVs in our treatment rooms to ensure your comfort and well-being.
Before beginning the procedure, our dentist will administer a strong local anesthetic to numb the tooth. This guarantees that you will not feel any pain during the treatment. If you came to our clinic in pain, you will be relieved to experience immediate relief once the tooth is numb!
