Caring for Your Root Canal | Schnecksville Dentist

.

No one wants to be in pain and one of the worst ones is a toothache. Unfortunately, there may come a time when you may need a root canal. And for many of us, a root canal sounds like your mouth will be in pain for a long while. But ignoring issues like tooth decay is the whole reason you’re in this predicament. It’s time to bite the proverbial bullet. Soon, you and your mouth have been treated and on your road to recovery. But you were right – it wasn’t a painless experience.

There’s no doubt that a root canal procedure can cause some of the worst temporary oral pain you could experience. But all is not lost; there are lots of ways you can temporarily ease some of the pain. If you’ve just had a root canal or are planning on getting one done soon, keep this handful of remedies in mind to help ease and sooth the pain after your procedure is finished:

  • Make sure to take the antibiotics prescribed by your dentist.
  • Relieve pain with anti-inflammatory medication, like ibuprofen.
  • Avoid eating hard, crunchy or tough foods for the first few days.
  • An ice pack applied to the affected area can help to relieve pain.
  • Use a numbing gel, like Oragel once the anesthesia wears off.

We all want healthy mouths, but it is our job to take the time to ensure this happens. Otherwise, we may be stuck to have a major dental procedure done to repair any damage done. Sometimes, it can’t be helped, but for the most part, it’s all on us. Aren’t you glad there are ways to soothe those dental pains?

Seeing Things Clear as Day | Schnecksville Dentist

It may seem like an obvious necessity, but it is important to be able to see clearly when performing dental surgery. Not only is it a tight space, but the inside of your mouth isn’t the most well-lit area our bodies have, so having the proper equipment when we come to see them. Dental surgery is precise, and not a quick process, so it is important to be able to work in a small position for long periods of time. Luckily, dental technology has achieved the ideal product for the dental professional – dental loupes.

You may have seen them on surgical tv shows. Think eyeglasses with microscopes on each lens for additional magnification. Dental loupes are the perfect product to ensure that your dental procedure not only goes as well as possible but keeps the dentist’s eyes from getting weakened as the procedure continues.

It may seem extra, but it is really quite revolutionary. Not only is it easier for the dentist to maneuver through a surgery with ease, but the telescopic lenses make dental surgeries as pain-free as possible. It gives confidence to the surgeon and allows the patient to rest at ease, making it easier to see what needs to be seen without causing fatigue to either party.

We’ve come a long way in our dental technology, but it is all for your benefit. Advanced features will not only make your smile the healthiest it can be, but it can also make your future dental appointments worry-free. So, if you are afraid of the dental chair, relax – we’re here to provide you with the best possible dental care.

Keeping the Needles at Bay | Schnecksville Dentist

When you’re in the dental profession, there is one major question you are constantly asked by your patients as they step in the room – am I going to need to get a shot? No, you are not alone. Many patients are sitting in the same boat as you are and as dental professionals, we have to do our best to make our patients feel comfortable while in our dental chair. But despite the anxiety that is building as we begin a dental procedure, anesthesia is necessary. It is vital to performing a successful dental procedure. So, how do you rectify this dental dilemma? The Wand.

The Wand Anesthesia System is a computer-assisted way to deliver anesthesia to the patient that is revolutionizing the dental surgery industry. No longer are the days that you are staring down the barrel of a dental needle, now there is a plastic wand.

Within this handy wand is a very tiny needle that will deliver your anesthesia to your mouth in the most pain-free way possible. And because a computer is aiding its delivery, there is now a way to only numb the tooth in question. Not only that, but the computer will also administer the correct amount of anesthesia throughout the procedure. No more “fat lip” feeling, no more embarrassing accidents. In fact, you don’t even need to miss work because an entire area in your mouth hasn’t been numbed.  

So, as you can see, you have nothing to worry about at your dental appointments. Here at Extraordinary Smiles, it is our first priority to give our patients the most calming, efficient service possible. And we are proud that The Wand Anesthesia System is the latest addition to our patient care.
