Root Canal Causes

The pulp inside your tooth contains nerves and blood vessels. It can become infected due to:

^

Deep cavities

^

Repeated dental procedures

^

Cracked or fractured teeth

^

Tooth injury (even without visible cracks)

Untreated infections can cause pain, swelling, and abscess formation, potentially leading to tooth loss.

What to Expect During Treatment

A root canal usually takes 1-2 visits with little to no pain, thanks to local anesthesia. After treatment, the pain you had before should be relieved.

Before a root canal

^

X-rays and possibly a CBCT will be taken for a clear view of the tooth and surrounding bone.

^

The area will be numbed for comfort.

^

A special rubber sheet will be placed to protect the tooth from bacteria during the procedure.

During Treatment

^

Your dentist will create a small opening in the tooth and remove the infected nerve and pulp.

^

The tooth will be cleaned and disinfected, and a rubber-like material will seal the canals.

^

A temporary filling will protect the tooth until a permanent restoration is placed.

Root Canal aftercare

^

Mild sensitivity may occur for a few days.

^

Antibiotics will be prescribed if necessary.

^

A follow-up visit will replace the temporary filling with a permanent one, and a crown may be placed for extra protection.

Can I get a Root Canal Treatment During a Regular Visit?

Unless you are an existing patient and call for an emergency dental appointment, a root canal treatment typically requires a follow-up appointment after we’ve had to inspect the tooth to identify the issue. You might see one of our dentists at Dublin Dental Care or be referred to an endodontist, a specialist in pulp and tissue treatments.

How Long Does a Root Canal take?

A normal 1-hour appointment is sufficient to complete a root canal unless there are other complications. We’ll make sure we schedule appropriately for your visit to ensure it gets completed and your tooth is restored.
If a crown is needed post-root canal, that may be a separate appointment.

How Long Will a Root Canal Last?

With proper care, a restored tooth can last a lifetime. Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups.

From walking in the door all the way to the end, I was so impressed with every person I encountered. The staff is very friendly, welcoming, and genuine. I enjoyed talking to Christina, Lisette, and Dr. Pagniano, all very personable and fun to talk to. The process was thorough and they put extra details in to make sure you are comfortable and find out what aspects of your visits are most important to you.
