Root Canal Treatment at Shen Dental in Vancouver
Root canal treatment is a procedure designed to preserve a tooth when its nerve becomes infected or damaged. During the procedure, Dr. Fisher removes the infected, injured, or dead pulp from the tooth, cleans and enlarges the root canal, and seals it with a special material. Finally, the tooth is sealed with either a temporary or permanent filling, ensuring it remains functional.
While root canal treatment can save your tooth, it does not protect it from future issues like decay or gum disease, so continued care is essential.
What to Expect During Your Visit
- Consultation and Diagnosis:
- Dr. Fisher will evaluate the tooth with X-rays and discuss the procedure to ensure you’re comfortable and informed.
- Numbing and Cleaning:
- The area is numbed, and the infected pulp is carefully removed. The root canal is cleaned and shaped for sealing.
- Sealing the Canal:
- The canal is filled with a biocompatible material, and the opening is sealed with a temporary or permanent filling.
- Final Restoration:
- Depending on the tooth’s condition, Dr. Fisher may recommend a crown for additional protection and functionality.
