The term ‘root canal’ usually invokes fear in patients. For whatever reason, that seems to still be the trend, and it shouldn’t be. Root canals should be painless, and here at our office, they are painless. We never initiate any treatment unless a patient is comfortably numb. We are able to provide pain relief same day should a patient walk in with a toothache.
Get Out of Pain & Preserve Your Tooth
You aren’t alone if you are afraid of the thought of even having a root canal! A root canal is one of the most misunderstood dental treatments. Contrary to popular belief, your root canal procedure is no more uncomfortable than a tooth filling. Here is what you can expect:
- If you’re nervous about your visit, your dentist can prescribe an easy-to-swallow pill for you to take ahead of time. By the time you’re in our dental chair, the oral sedation will have kicked in, so you remain completely relaxed. All you have to do is sit back and leave all the work to us.
- Before we start, we use our syringe-free anesthesia with The Wand® to numb the infected tooth so you are comfortable during the course of your treatment.
- Once you’re comfortable, we’ll access the infected inner part of your tooth and clean it out. We’ll then seal the root canals and fill the tooth with an inert material.
- As a finishing restoration, we will place a new dental crown to strengthen the tooth and prevent any further problems.
Call us today at 913-251-9683 if you’re hurting, and we’ll schedule an appointment for you as soon as possible. You can also schedule online. With Lenexa root canals, you’ll feel better, and you’ll have your chewing capacity restored!
