- Why do I need a root canal? If the pulp has become infected or inflamed from a crack or chip, deep decay, a faulty crown, or repeated procedures on the same tooth, the specialist at Ayik + Berto Endodontics, formerly known as The Endodontics Group, Inc., will recommend performing the procedure at our endodontists’ office in Park Cities.
- What does the procedure entail? First, we remove the pulp or nerve within the root canal and pulp chamber. The chamber is then cleaned and re-shaped so it can be filled with a biocompatible material. Next, it is sealed, and a temporary filling is put on it to prevent bacterial contamination. The procedure usually involves a second visit to an endodontist in Park Cities to remove the temporary filling and replace it with a crown or permanent filling.
- Is the procedure painful? Despite all the horror stories you may have heard, root canal therapy is about as painless and straightforward as having a tooth filled thanks to our advanced pain management skills and current technologies. In many cases, the fear of the procedure is based on a lack of information.
