Procedure:

• Root canal treatment is a procedure used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected.


• Root canal procedures are performed when the nerve of the tooth becomes infected or the pulp becomes damaged. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.


• Root canal procedures have a myth of being painful. However, with the advent of latest technologies all the patients at our clinic have reported with no pain during the procedure. The discomfort experienced in the period leading up to a seeking of dental care is truly the painful period of time, not the root canal procedure itself.

Signs that a Root Canal is needed:

• Severe toothache pain upon chewing or application of pressure.


• Prolonged sensitivity/pain to heat or cold temperatures (after the hot or cold has been removed)


• Discoloration (a darkening) of the tooth.


• Swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums.
• A persistent or recurring pimple on the gums.

Post Treatment:

• As such for your dental veneers there is no special care required although continue to follow good oral hygiene practices including brushing and flossing as you normally would.


• Even though porcelain veneers resist stains, your dentist may recommend that you avoid stain-causing foods and beverages (for example, coffee, tea or red wine)
