Irvine Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Procedures are necessary when the the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes and symptoms.

 Every tooth consists of three different layers. From the outside, first there is Enamel (the outer layer of the teeth which is the hardest part of the body). The second layer is Dentin (the inside hard layer) and then we have the Pulp (which is an empty space where the live tissue and nerve of each tooth is located).

If for any reason the pulp space is exposed to the outside, the tissue becomes contaminated and eventually infected. The exposure of pulp happens in many circumstances for example when you have a large cavity, or a fractured tooth. Your dentist can explain the exact reason for damage to this tissue. Regardless of the reason for this contamination or damage to pulp tissue, the treatment is usually Root canal treatment.

Irvine Root canal treatment is the process of going inside the pulp space and removing the infected and dead tissue. A Root Canal Specialist uses an Endodontic Microscope to see the roots inside the tooth. This reassures that all canals are found and cleaned properly.

 Our Specialists clean the canals using the Latest Technology in Endodontics, including brand new files and top of the line equipment. We provide you with an extra special comfort menu to ensure you feel calm and absolutely no pain throughout the treatment process.  

Then the space is disinfected and sealed with special materials. When you leave our office you will have a temporary filling in the tooth. When the root canal treatment is done your restorative dentist will usually place a crown on you tooth to protect it against fracture.

Cracked Tooth Syndrome & Treatment

You feel searing tooth pain while chewing certain foods and experience hot and cold temperature sensitivity. Dental x-rays show that you are cavity-free, yet the discomfort persists. Unfortunately, it may not just be sensitive teeth – you could be experiencing the symptoms of cracked tooth syndrome. Did you know the tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body? In fact, it’s harder than your bones! Though teeth are built to last, they are still susceptible to cracks and fractures.

What is Cracked Tooth Syndrome? Cracked tooth syndrome is a condition in which a tooth is cracked, yet remains intact. Cracks may be small and minute or large and visible. They may occur along the crown of the tooth near the cusp or deep beneath the gum line. All cracks, big and small, should be considered serious and require endodontic evaluation.

Our Microscope

Why can a root canal specialist tell if it is a crack in the tooth? With the help of their extra training and use of a Microscope.  It is always a great idea to have your tooth checked by an Endodontist through a microscope. Sometimes cracks can be seen on X-rays but it is rare, usually the tooth must be opened under the microscope to see if there is a crack visible. Depending on the severity of the crack will tell our specialist if it is salvageable.

Why Microscopes are important for Root Canal Treatment.

We use a microscope on every treatment that we do in the office. These help us to treat the patient with the best quality of care possible. This enables our doctors to work faster, and that means less time for the patients in the chair!

Dr. Jason Cho Working With the Microscope. 

The root canal procedure takes place in a very small area of the tooth and requires expert precision to effectively navigate the roots and canals. Some teeth may have more roots and canals than expected — missed canals can mean unresolved infections, which may eventually require another endodontic procedure, or even removal of the tooth.

The use of advanced microscopy technology by a trained root canal specialist can help make your root canal treatment successful, allowing you to keep your natural tooth for a lifetime!
