Root Canals / Endodontic Treatment services offered in Bowie, MD
GentleWave Root Canal Treatment
At our office, we offer the GentleWave® Procedure, an advanced technology used during root canal treatment to help clean the inside of the tooth more thoroughly and comfortably.
Root Canals / Endodontic Treatment Q&A
A root canal is needed when the nerve inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. During treatment, the infected tissue is removed, the canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to help save your natural tooth. GentleWave® uses cleaning fluids and acoustic energy to reach tiny spaces inside the root canal system that traditional instruments may not fully access.
Why Patients Like GentleWave®
GentleWave® is designed to be minimally invasive and helps preserve more of your natural tooth structure. It may also allow treatment to be completed in fewer visits, depending on your specific case.
What to Expect
Your dentist will examine your tooth and determine if GentleWave® is right for you. During the procedure, we will keep you comfortable while carefully cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth. After treatment, some mild soreness or sensitivity is normal and usually improves as the tooth heals.
Is GentleWave® Right for Me?
Not every tooth or patient is the same. Our doctor will review your symptoms, X-rays, and treatment needs to decide whether GentleWave® is the best option for your care.
