Why People Love Floss Dental Collective

Sarah D.
I highly recommend Floss Dental Collective. The hygienists who run the clinic are really knowledgeable and helpful, and they finally got me flossing. They are also great with kids and always make me laugh, which is delightfully awkward when one is having dental work done. The dentists are fantastic too.

Restoring Healthy Smiles with Root Canal Treatment

What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it, and then filling and sealing it. The common causes of such damage include cracked teeth, repeated dental treatment to the tooth, or trauma.

Why Do I Need a Root Canal?

Root canal treatment is needed when the pulp, the soft tissue inside your tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes inflamed or infected. If left untreated, this condition can cause pain or lead to an abscess.

What Are the Signs I Need a Root Canal?

You might need a root canal if you experience:

  • Severe pain upon chewing or application of pressure
  • Prolonged sensitivity/pain to heat or cold temperatures
  • Discoloration of the tooth
  • Swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums
  • A persistent or recurring pimple on the gums

What to Expect During Your Root Canal

At Floss Dental Collective, Dr. Betty Le ensures that your root canal procedure is as pain-free as possible.
The process typically involves the following steps:

Diagnosis

Using precise imaging technologies to determine the extent of the infection.

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia is administered to ensure you feel no pain during the procedure.

Pulp Removal

Carefully removing the infected or damaged pulp, and cleaning the inside of the tooth.

Filling

Sealing the cleaned and shaped canals with a biocompatible material.

Restoration

Finishing the treatment with a crown or filling for protection and to restore full function to the tooth.
