Root Canal Therapy in Kendall, FL
New Life Dental
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure designed to treat and save a tooth that is severely infected or damaged. The treatment involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth, disinfecting the area, and then sealing it to prevent future infection
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy offers several important benefits, including:
- Pain Relief: The procedure alleviates the pain and discomfort associated with an infected or damaged tooth.
- Tooth Preservation: By removing the infected pulp and sealing the tooth, root canal therapy allows you to keep your natural tooth, which is important for maintaining proper bite and alignment.
- Prevents Further Infection: The procedure effectively removes the source of infection and prevents it from spreading to other teeth or tissues.
- Restores Function: After treatment, your tooth will be restored to its full function, allowing you to chew and speak normally.
- Long-Term Solution: With proper care, a tooth that has undergone a root canal can last many years, providing a durable and effective solution.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canal Therapy
Is a root canal painful?
The procedure itself is typically not painful, as local anesthesia is used to numb the area. Some discomfort or mild soreness may occur afterward, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long does a root canal take?
The duration of a root canal treatment generally ranges from 60 to 90 minutes. The exact time can vary based on the complexity of the case and the tooth being treated.
Can I eat and drink while wearing the aligners?
Most patients experience minimal downtime and can resume normal activities within a day or two. Any mild discomfort or swelling usually resolves within a few days.
Will my tooth need a crown after a root canal?
In most cases, a tooth that has undergone a root canal will need a crown to restore its strength and function. A crown helps protect the tooth and ensures its long-term durability.
What can I do to care for my tooth after a root canal?
After a root canal, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Attend follow-up appointments with your dentist to ensure the tooth is healing properly and to address any concerns.
