Farhoumand Dentistry distinguishes itself from other dental offices in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia, and beyond with our state-of-the-art capabilities. You can rest assured that treatments will be performed to the highest quality and safety standards and that they will be completed right the first time. "Root canals" are among those treatments with a high success rate exceeding 97%. They can be trusted to relieve pain (not cause additional pain) and preserve teeth that would have to be extracted otherwise due to severe damage.
The term "root canal" refers to the space inside the tooth holding nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. When this space is inflamed or infected due to disease or trauma, treatment may be in your future. This largely involves cleaning the canals, reshaping them, and sealing them off to encourage healing and prevent further damage.
We won't know if root canal therapy is the most appropriate next step until we evaluate your troublesome tooth. Sometimes, a filling or crown alone may suffice to repair a cavity or less extensive decay. However, when damage penetrates the innermost tooth structure, fillings, and crowns may be inadequate.
You may be experiencing a throbbing, aching tooth that keeps you up at night and prevents you from eating. You may also notice that your gums or other parts of your face look swollen and that the affected tooth is discolored. Or, you may have persistently bad breath and a foul taste in your mouth. Then again, you may not experience any of these things. Everybody is different. For this reason, we like to evaluate our patients regularly for problems during routine dental checkups.
No. This is one of the biggest misconceptions about root canal treatment. The procedure itself is not painful; the conditions it treats, however, can be very painful. Treatment is performed only after the tooth has been fully numbed. We often relieve painful pressure by opening the tooth to access the canals and remove the damaged tissue.
