What is root canal therapy?

A root canal is a restorative dental treatment that aims to repair an infected tooth. During the root canal process, Dr. Kalbaugh removes the infected pulp inside the tooth, cleans, disinfects, shapes the root canal, and places a filling or dental crown to seal the space. This straightforward process that removes infected pulp from the tooth root can bring your tooth back to health!

What can I eat after a root canal?

Following root canal recovery directions is highly encouraged to avoid pain after treatment and to enjoy your smile again. Fortunately, you can eat after a root canal though it may be best to wait until the numbness wears off. For the first couple of days, soft foods may feel more comfortable to eat. If the root canal area feels sensitive or tender when eating, stop eating the particular food and try a softer substitute.

How much does a root canal cost?

Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity are indicators of a dental problem that needs to be addressed. Root canal therapy cost will vary on which tooth needs the root canal and whether or not a filling or dental crown is placed on the tooth after. At Advanced Dentistry of Nevada, we offer many payment options to help make quality dental care possible for as many patients as possible.
