Root Canal Treatment in Central Coast
A Seabreeze Experience
The level of anxiety that people experience with root canal therapy is no myth. Often, the biggest reason for concern is not understanding the process of what is being completed. While society may say that root canal treatment is painful, we’re here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be.
When you feel confident knowing that your comfort comes first, you can easily relax through a root canal just like any other routine appointment.
The Treatment Process
Most root canal treatments require 2-3 visits to complete. However, we can occasionally perform single-visit endodontic therapy if certain criteria are met. After making you comfortable, we gain access to the nerve chamber in your numbed tooth, removing the infected blood vessels and nerves.
Naturally, this step alleviates pain and inflammation. We slightly reduce the height of your tooth to prevent any biting pressure. On another visit, we’ll prepare the clean chamber for the final root canal filling.
After your endodontic treatment is complete, we recommend placing a crown over your tooth to prevent any premature wear or breakage.
