A root canal procedure involves removing infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth to prevent further damage. This treatment helps eliminate discomfort, restore function, and protect your natural tooth from extraction. You may need a root canal when tooth decay, cracks, or trauma allow bacteria to infect the inner pulp. If left untreated, the infection can spread to the surrounding jawbone, forming a painful abscess and potentially resulting in tooth loss. Signs you may need root canal therapy include persistent toothache, pain when biting, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling near the affected tooth, a darkened tooth, or a pimple on the gums.
Whether you're a nervous patient or need an urgent appointment, we're here to help restore your smile comfortably and confidently.
Our painless root canal procedure in Fremont is typically completed in a few key steps:
Diagnosis and X-Rays
We take digital X-rays to assess the extent of infection and determine whether root canal therapy is needed.
Local Anesthesia
The treatment area is thoroughly numbed so you feel little to no discomfort throughout the procedure.
Pulp Removal
An opening is made in the crown of the tooth and infected pulp tissue is carefully removed.
Canal Cleaning
The root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and prevent reinfection.
Sealing the Tooth
The canals are filled with gutta-percha material and sealed to prevent future bacterial entry.
Crown Placement
A custom porcelain crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore its strength, shape, and function.
Recognising infection warning signs early helps you get treatment before the pain worsens.
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold foods or drinks that doesn't go away after a few seconds.
Swelling, tenderness, or a pimple-like bump on the gums near a specific tooth indicates possible infection.
Bacteria can enter through cracks and reach the pulp, causing infection and pain over time.
