What Happens During a Root Canal?
A root canal is needed when tissue beneath your teeth becomes infected. This can happen as a result of significant decay, injury, chips, cracks or trauma to the tooth. During a root canal, we remove this infected pulp and soft tissue, thoroughly clean the canal, then disinfect and seal it to prevent future infection.
How Often Will I Come Back to Belle Meade Endodontics Following Treatment?
Usually, endodontic therapy can be completed in one treatment session with only a few follow-up appointments to make sure the healing process is going smoothly. If you require more intensive treatment and need to return to our office for another procedure, our scheduling team will work with you to make another appointment.
Following your initial treatment, we will be in touch to schedule your follow-up appointments with the team. During these appointments, we will evaluate how you are healing and make any additional recommendations to ease the process.
Communication between oral health partners is a priority for our team. We’ll work closely with your general dentist’s office to determine when you will go back there for a checkup, and if further treatment or examination is needed from our team.
