If you've ever had to deal with a root canal, you know it's not the most pleasant experience. But if you have a dentist who is willing to help guide you through the process, it can be much easier.

Here are four ways your dentist can help with root canal treatment:

1. Your Dentist Can Reassure You About Root Canal Treatment

Make sure all of your questions are answered. You're going to want to ask a lot of questions about what's happening and why—and your dentist should be able to provide you with detailed answers that make sense. Your dentist can make sure you understand what's going on every step of the way. This can be especially important if you're getting sedation or another kind of anaesthesia, since some people may find themselves worried about what's happening and having trouble focusing on their breathing and other important things that need to happen during the procedure itself.

2. Your Dentist Can Offer Sedation Options For Root Canal Treatment

If you're nervous about undergoing root canal treatment, your dentist may offer sedation options that can help make the experience more pleasant for you. This includes nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or an oral sedative before the procedure begins as well as conscious sedation so that you won't feel any pain during the treatment itself—just minimal discomfort afterward while recovering from anaesthesia effects at home afterward with someone looking after you until then.

3. Your Dentist Will Make Sure You're Getting The Right Root Canal Treatment

There are two types of root canal treatments: endodontic and periapical. Endodontic is the more common, but there are cases where periapical is more suitable (if the nerve has been damaged or if it's very hard to clean out all of the infection). Your dentist will know which type of treatment is best for you.

4. Your Dentist Will Be Able To Perform Root Canal Treatment

Your dentist is able to use their knowledge and training to perform root canal treatment on your teeth. The procedure is done in-office by drilling into the tooth and removing diseased tissue from inside of it. Once all of the infected parts have been removed, they will fill the tooth with an antibacterial material called gutta-percha. This helps to prevent future infections from occurring within your mouth cavity.

If you are experiencing pain in your tooth, it may be because of a problem with the pulp. In order to fix this problem, a root canal treatment must be performed. Your dentist will have the equipment and expertise needed to perform this procedure, but there are several other ways that they can help. Chat with your dentist about root canal treatment today.
