Sedation Dentistry
Root Canal Treatment in Jackson, MS
When tooth pain becomes too much to ignore, a root canal may be the solution. This treatment removes infection inside your tooth, eases pain, and saves your natural tooth.
Root canal treatment has a reputation for being painful. However, with the latest tools and techniques, the process is quick and efficient. If dental anxiety is an issue, we have several sedation options available, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation. We’re committed to making your experience as comfortable as we can.
01.
The Root Canal Procedure
Before your treatment, the area is numbed with a local anesthetic. Then, an opening is created in the tooth to remove the infected tissue. The canals are then cleaned, disinfected, shaped, and filled with a biocompatible material. Finally, the tooth is sealed and often restored with a crown for protection.
02.
After Root Canal Treatment
When your root canal treatment is done, we’ll give post-care details for dealing with pain and caring for the treated area. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help with mild pain and discomfort.
We’ll confirm your healing process is going well in your next follow-up appointment.
