Root Canal Therapy in Fort Lauderdale

Root Canal Treatment in Fort Lauderdale

Root canal therapy treats the inside, or pulp, of a tooth when it becomes inflamed, infected, or dies. The pulp is soft tissue made up of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.

Common signs of a tooth infection include visible injury or swelling, sensitivity to hot or cold, and pain in the tooth or gums. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact All Smiles Dental in Fort Lauderdale to schedule a consultation.

During root canal therapy, Dr. Alvarado carefully removes the damaged pulp from the tooth chamber and canals. The inside of the tooth is then cleaned and disinfected. Local anesthesia or sedation can be used to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.

After the root canal is complete, a temporary filling may be placed to protect your tooth until the final restoration is ready. Your tooth can feel tender for a few days. You can usually manage this with over the counter or prescribed pain medication, as directed. Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until your permanent restoration is placed. If you notice unusual pain or problems, contact All Smiles Dental right away.

Root canal therapy can help save your natural tooth and restore comfortable function. Call our Fort Lauderdale office today to book a visit with Dr. Alvarado.

Frequently Asked Questions

Root canal therapy is a procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth to save it from extraction.

With modern techniques and anesthesia, root canal treatments are virtually painless and as comfortable as getting a filling.

Common signs include severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or darkening of the tooth.

Most root canal treatments can be completed in one or two visits, depending on the tooth’s condition.

After treatment, the tooth is usually restored with a dental crown to strengthen it and restore full function.
