Root Canal Treatment Wayne
Getting Rid of Tooth Infections for Good
Severe tooth damage or decay typically calls for some form of restorative care. While a tooth-colored filling or customized dental crown are common solutions, there is the chance that root canal treatment will be required, especially if the patient is experiencing a lot of pain. Our Wayne dental team at Main Line Dental Group is here to remove the infection that exists with the inner layer – the pulp – so that you can avoid the need for extraction. We can also perform pulp treatment should your child experience similar symptoms. Just call our office and let us know how we can help.

What Happens During a Root Canal?
You will first receive a local anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable and numb. After isolating your tooth with a dental dam to prevent moisture from reaching the affected area, we will open a small portion of the crown to access the pulp chamber and canals.
Using specialized instruments, we will clear out any infection and unhealthy tissue as well as the pulp. We’ll then sterilize the tooth using a special solution before applying a biocompatible substance known as gutta-percha, which fills in the area previously occupied by the pulp.
After sealing the tooth off from reinfection, we will prepare you for a customized dental crown, which will be placed over the vulnerable area so that it remains protected against further harm.
