When you have a painful dental infection, a root canal can stop discomfort and protect your tooth from being lost. To aid in this process and ensure treatment with precision, our team can employ advanced technology. Your neighborhood endodontist at Root Canal Specialists of Baton Rouge, LA, can offer care using digital x-rays, ultrasonics, and more!
Infected Teeth and Root Canal Therapy
When harmful oral bacteria reach the pulp, the nerve center of each tooth, this could cause an infection. Factors behind this could include tooth decry or an injury to your tooth. When the infection develops, painful symptoms can arise, such as tooth sensitivity, toothaches, pain when eating, swelling, aches in the jaw and face, and even a discharge from the tooth itself. Over time, the infection could reach other teeth and even lead to tooth loss or the need for tooth extraction. But a root canal can provide a gentle and comfortable solution, allowing us to remove the infected tissues and then fill the tooth before we cap it with a custom crown. This brings relief and offers a lifelike appearance. To aid in the process, we use advanced technology!
Imaging Systems
To ensure we can thoroughly remove all tissues from the interior of your tooth roots, our team can employ a digital surgical microscope, so we can illuminate hidden and difficult to find canals. This prevents reinfection from occurring! With CBCT imagery, we can obtain detailed and 3D images of your mouth and jaw, so we can conduct a detailed examination and plan treatment with detail. Digital x-rays help as well, as we can assess the position and extent of the infection, and the system uses 90% less radiation and provides images instantly chairside, reducing time in the chair and offering a more accurate diagnosis.
Ultrasonics
In addition to our digital surgical microscopes, our team can also use ultrasonic technology to create gentle vibrations that allow us to detect tiny canals and hidden areas for tissue to remain stuck. We can then identify the positions and gently remove tissue from them with precision, ensuring your smile is properly treated and the need for retreatment is avoided. If you have any questions about how we plan and conduct treatment with precision using digital technology, then contact our team today. If you have pain in a tooth that persists, then please see us right away so we can provide relief with our endodontic treatment options.
