In the past, root canals had a reputation for being painful. These days, they are known for being no more uncomfortable than a dental filling. This is because Dr. Keith Rudolph, DDS uses rotary endodontics here in our Fairfield, CT dental practice.
Rotary endodontics is an updated way of performing root canal therapy. We now use an electrical handpiece with a nickel titanium alloy file instead of a manual file made of steel. The electrical handpiece allows us to perform the root canal therapy much quicker and quieter. This is great for patients who do not like spending a lot of time in the dental chair, as well as patients with dental anxiety.
The nickel titanium alloy file is much more flexible than the steel file of the past. This helps our patients’ comfort level by a great deal. The flexible file does not stretch the root canal or cause damage like the old files could sometimes do. They help us go deep into the root canal without causing discomfort. This creates less pain both during the procedure and afterwards.
If you are facing a root canal soon or are avoiding one, do not worry. New technology has allowed us to perform root canal therapy that is much more comfortable and quick.
