If you’ve been told you need a root canal, you might feel anxious — but the reality is far less scary than the myths. At Fairfield Dentistry & Implants, we provide gentle and effective root canal treatment in Fairfield to save your natural tooth and relieve pain.
🦷 Why You Might Need a Root Canal
A root canal is necessary when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms include:
- Persistent toothache
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swollen gums or abscess
- Darkened tooth
✅ What Happens During Root Canal Treatment
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what to expect:
1. Diagnosis & Digital X-Ray
We use digital imaging to locate the infection and assess the tooth’s structure.
2. Local Anesthesia
Your comfort is our priority. The area is numbed to ensure a pain-free experience.
3. Cleaning the Canal
We access the infected pulp chamber, remove bacteria, and disinfect the inside of the tooth.
4. Filling & Sealing
The canal is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent future infection.
5. Restoration
A crown is placed to protect the treated tooth and restore full function.
😌 Is It Painful?
Modern root canal treatment is no more painful than getting a filling. Most patients feel immediate relief from tooth pain after the procedure.
