With offices in Barnstable, Centerville, Dennis, and Hyannis, MA, Harris Dental Cape Cod offers root canal procedures to save natural teeth. A root canal is necessary when a tooth is severely damaged or infected. This treatment is the best solution to preserve the natural tooth and prevent further complications. Our experienced root canal specialists provide effective, pain-relieving care focused on patient comfort.

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal procedure removes infected or inflamed pulp from within the tooth, helping prevent further infection and maintaining the tooth’s integrity. During the procedure, our dentist cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, then fills it to protect against future issues. This approach is imperative for treating severe decay, fractures, or a root canal infection. The entire process is performed using modern dental techniques and local anesthesia to minimize root canal pain.

Root Canal Procedure Post-Care

Proper care after a root canal procedure is key to a smooth recovery. Patients might experience soreness after a root canal, typically managed with over-the-counter pain relief. To ensure a successful root canal recovery, patients must avoid hard or chewy foods and maintain good oral hygiene practices. The root canal recovery time usually spans a few days, but complete healing may vary based on the individual case.

How Do You Know If You Need a Root Canal?

Recognizing the signs that you need a root canal early is necessary for timely intervention. Symptoms such as persistent tooth pain, heightened sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling around the gums, or a tooth darkening in color often indicate the need for a root canal. These symptoms suggest that the pulp inside the tooth may be compromised, requiring root canal treatment to avoid further damage.
