Like many people, you probably don't look forward to having a root canal. We completely understand that reaction, but we also know that root canal treatment does not have to be a stressful experience for anyone.
At Temple Dental Trails, we are committed to the idea that all it takes to have a pleasant dental experience is a team of trained professionals who truly care about your comfort and well-being. Dr. Richard Leung and our team are proud of the great reputation we have earned for performing root canals that are efficient, comfortable, and stress-free.
Why Root Canals are Necessary
If you’ve ever had a root canal infection, you know that it can be a very painful experience. That type of intense pain is a good indication that something serious is happening in your tooth that needs to be taken care of immediately.
Deep inside of your tooth is the root canal itself, which contains soft tissue and nerves. Damage to the tooth caused by injury or decay can cause the nerve to become damaged and infected. If the infection is not treated, you will experience continued pain, swelling, and even tooth loss.
During root canal therapy, Dr. Leung carefully removes the damaged tissue, then gently cleans and seals the tooth. If necessary, he will use medication or an antibiotic to control the infection. In most cases, a dental crown will be needed to protect and strengthen the tooth.
Comfortable, Stress-Free Care
Dr. Leung and our team are sensitive to the fact that dental visits for treatments like root canals can cause anxiety for many people. At Temple Dental Trails, your complete comfort is one of our top priorities, and we have solutions that will help make your treatment easy and stress-free.
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is a mild form of sedation that works well for many people. It will help you to remain completely calm during the procedure. One benefit of nitrous oxide is that there are no lingering after-effects.
If you experience deeper anxiety, Dr. Leung will prescribe a calming medication to be taken when you first arrive at our office. This allows you to feel very relaxed during your treatment.
