Advanced Technology for Faster, More Comfortable Root Canals
At our dental practice, we are committed to providing advanced treatment solutions that make your experience more efficient, effective and comfortable. One of the ways we accomplish this is through the use of rotary endodontics, a modern approach to performing root canal therapy. This technology allows us to treat infected or damaged teeth with greater precision while improving your overall comfort during the procedure.
What Is Rotary Endodontics?
Rotary endodontics involves the use of a specialized electric handpiece equipped with flexible, nickel-titanium rotary files. These tools are used to clean and shape the root canals of a tooth during endodontic treatment. Unlike traditional manual files, rotary instruments operate smoothly and consistently, making the process quicker and more comfortable for the patient.
The flexibility and precision of rotary files allow our dentists to navigate curved or narrow canals more easily. This reduces the risk of complications and leads to more predictable outcomes. Rotary endodontics is also less physically demanding for the dentists, which contributes to a more relaxed and efficient procedure for you.
When You Might Need Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy becomes necessary when the pulp, or inner tissue, of the tooth becomes infected or inflamed. This condition is often caused by deep decay, cracks, trauma or repeated dental procedures on the same tooth. Common symptoms include severe tooth pain, increased sensitivity to temperature, swelling in the surrounding gums and discoloration of the affected tooth.
If left untreated, an infected tooth can lead to more serious complications, including the spread of infection or loss of the tooth. Root canal therapy removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the root canal system and seals the space to protect it from future infection. By using rotary endodontic tools, we are able to perform this treatment more efficiently, often reducing the time you spend in the dental chair.
