Root canal therapy has an undeserved reputation for being painful, but the reality is quite different. At Serenity Dental Spa, Dr. Naghmeh Pashmini offers comfortable and efficient root canal treatment in Springfield that eliminates pain while preserving your natural teeth for years to come.
Our modern approach to endodontic therapy combines advanced techniques with our signature comfort measures, transforming what many fear into a manageable, relief-providing experience.
Root canal therapy becomes necessary when the soft tissue inside your tooth—called the pulp—becomes infected or severely damaged. This vital tissue contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue that help nourish the tooth. A root canal may be necessary to treat:
The key to successful root canal treatment is addressing these issues promptly before infection spreads or pain becomes severe.
Several symptoms may indicate the need for root canal therapy:
However, some infected teeth may produce no symptoms at all, which is why regular dental checkups with Dr. Pashmini are essential for early detection.
Modern root canal therapy is far more comfortable than most people expect. It includes:
Precise restoration. After cleaning, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent future infection. In most cases, a crown will be recommended to restore the tooth’s full strength and protect it from future damage.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort following root canal treatment, with any mild soreness typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Dr. Pashmini provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and recovery.
The treated tooth can function normally once healing is complete, often lasting a lifetime with proper care and regular dental visits. A crown placement, usually scheduled within a few weeks, completes the restoration process and provides long-term protection.
Root canal therapy offers significant advantages over tooth extraction. Saving your natural tooth helps you maintain proper chewing function and prevents adjacent teeth from shifting. The procedure is typically much more cost-effective than extraction followed by tooth replacement. It also eliminates the need for additional restoration procedures, allowing you to maintain your natural smile and save money.
