Many patients have long been deterred by the traditional perception of root canal treatments as painful, uncomfortable, and stressful. However, modern dental technology is challenging these misconceptions with innovative methods like the GentleWave^® procedure now offered at Claremont Dental Institute.

Dispelling Root Canal Myths

GentleWave^®, designed with patient comfort in mind, provides an alternative to invasive techniques traditionally associated with root canal procedures. The method effectively dispels common myths about pain and discomfort by offering a quick yet thorough disinfection process that keeps teeth healthy over time.

Symptoms of Root Canal Infection

Indications of a root canal infection may include gum swelling, severe tooth pain and sensitivity to heat or cold. During treatment, dentists remove infected pulp – composed of nerves and blood vessels found within the tooth – to prevent further infection and potential tooth loss.

The GentleWave Ultra-Cleaning Procedure

At Claremont Dental Institute, our first step involves assessing your overall oral health before proceeding with the GentleWave^® procedure. Utilizing fluid dynamics alongside sound waves and water, we remove infected tissue from inside the tooth using sterilized utensils. This minimally invasive technique ensures comprehensive cleaning throughout both macroscopic (root canals) and microscopic systems within your teeth while preserving natural structure for optimal post-treatment stability. Through this advanced approach to disinfection, all teeth are thoroughly cleaned, preventing bacterial growth, thus improving overall oral health significantly in just one visit to our dental office located in Claremont, CA.

The GentleWave^® Technology: A Leap Forward in Root Canal Treatment

The inception of the GentleWave^® technology was driven by the need to enhance both the efficacy and efficiency of root canal treatments while improving patient experience significantly. Traditional methods have relied heavily on files for manual removal of infected tissue and tooth structure from within teeth for over a century. Still, these tools often fall short when dealing with complex root canal anatomy – leaving behind infected tissues and bacteria that make teeth susceptible to reinfection. GentleWave^®, however, takes a minimally invasive approach that reduces reliance on manual instrumentation. Instead, it uses a powerful vortex of procedure fluids combined with acoustic energy to clean even the deepest, most intricate parts of the root canal system, offering patients an improved treatment option.
