Root Canals at EGil Dental: Preserving Your Natural Smile

At EGil Dental, we believe every patient deserves a comfortable, pain-free dental experience. Root canals, often misunderstood and feared, are actually one of the most effective treatments to save an infected or damaged tooth. Our top priority is ensuring our patients receive the highest standard of care during this essential procedure.

Understanding the Need for a Root Canal

A root canal becomes necessary when the inner pulp of the tooth becomes infected or inflamed. This can happen due to various reasons such as deep decay, repeated dental procedures on one tooth, faulty crowns, or trauma. Left untreated, this can cause pain or lead to an abscess.

Symptoms often include:

• Severe pain when chewing or applying pressure
• Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold
• Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
• Swelling and tenderness in adjacent gums

Demystifying the Root Canal Procedure

The word ‘root canal’ often brings about anxiety, but with modern techniques and anesthetics, most people find the procedure no more painful than a routine filling.

1. Diagnosis: The process begins with a thorough examination using X-rays to determine the shape of the root canals and check for any sign of infection in the surrounding bone.
2. Anesthesia: To ensure a painless experience, local anesthesia is administered to numb the tooth.
3. Pulpectomy: An opening is made, and the infected tooth pulp is removed carefully.
4. Cleaning & Sealing: The interior of the tooth is cleaned, shaped, and disinfected. The cleaned root canal space is then filled to seal off the tooth.
5. Restoration: Lastly, a crown or filling is placed to protect and restore the tooth to its full function.

Aftercare & Recovery

After the procedure, it’s normal to feel some tenderness in the area for a few days. Over-the-counter pain medications can alleviate any discomfort. Most patients return to their normal activities the next day. It’s crucial to maintain good oral hygiene practices and regular dental visits to ensure the longevity of your root canal treatment.

Hoy llevé por primera vez a mi niña, puedo asegurar que el trato fue excelente desde recepcionista, la asistente y la doctora. Todos muy amables, muy limpio, la doctora Gabriela se tomó el tiempo de explicarme el procedimiento que necesita mi niña. Ya pedi cita para mi, y pienso recomendar a toda mi familia. Les doy un 10/10

Have been coming to this dental office for about 6 years now and every time I come in for an appointment I am waiting in the waiting room for about an hour and sometimes LONGER! If the doctor is backed up the least they could do is give you a call! Horrible customer service from the front desk girl doesn’t even greet you or let you talk as she simply says write your name on the paper with attitude. They’re there laughing and messing around instead of doing their job. 4 people got here after me and were let in before me because they knew someone who worked there. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! The doctor is very nice and does a very good job but with the amount of time I’m waiting in the waiting room it is not I worth it. Spare your time and don’t come here! Definitely will be looking for a new dentist office!

Great doctor and professional service team. From the moment I walk into the office to the moment I leave. Dr. Gil and his team explain the treatment and procedures thoroughly and I never have had an issues with my appointments. I have been an avid patient for three years and I have nothing bad to say about them, my experience with them has been flawless. Keep up the good work.

I had an outstanding  experience no only with Doctor Gil who demonstrated a vast knowledge and skills in his profession, but also the personal in general with so fast and gentle customer service. I spent years without dental care and visiting Girl’s practice changed my vision about it. He took the time to explain benefits and prevention methods to maintain dental health. He was professional as the same time compassionate, skilled, and was willing to answer all my questions. After visiting his clinic I feel more confident, tremendously improved my dental care, and know how to prevent further complications. Will definitely continue his service. Thank you so much Doctor Gil!!!
