Endodontics Saratoga

Endodontics is a branch of dentistry recognized by the American Dental Association involving diagnosis and treatment of the pulp (root canal) and surrounding tissues of the tooth. When you look at your tooth in the mirror, what you see is the crown. The rest of the tooth, the portion hidden beneath the gum line, is called the root. Though the outer portion of the root is a hard tissue called dentin, the inside channel or “root canal” contains a pulp of soft tissue, blood vessels and nerves.

Saratoga Dentist Dr. John Hao Rong examines, diagnoses, and treats diseases and destructive processes, including injuries and abnormalities of dental pulps and periapical tissues of the teeth.

Root Canal Saratoga

A root canal is the commonly used term for the main canals within the tooth. These are part of the natural cavity within a tooth that consists of the dental pulp chamber, the main canals, and sometimes more intricate anatomical branches that may connect the root canals to each other or to the root surface of the tooth. Root canals are filled with many blood vessels, loose connective tissue and the dental pulp. This area can sometimes become infected and inflamed, generally due to deep cavities or tooth fractures that allow microorganisms, mostly bacteria from the mouth or their byproducts, access to the pulp chamber or the root canals; the infected tissue is removed by a procedure called a ‘root canal’.

Saratoga Dentist Dr. John Hao Rong Wants To Save Your Tooth.

The root canals of each tooth house nerve tissue and dental pulp, which contain blood vessels that provide nourishment. When this tissue becomes infected, a tooth may be in danger of dying. Without a root canal, patients may experience severe swelling, bone loss, inflammation, toothache, darkening of the tooth, gum soreness, and drainage problems.

A root canal procedure is usually recommended after other dental treatment options have been considered. It is a treatment that is used to save a tooth from extraction, an absolute last-resort option at our practice. Root canals are common in cases where large cavities have done too much damage to fix with a tooth-colored filling or dental crown. They are also used in cases where a tooth infection is simply too invasive to control.

Dental Patient Reviews Saratoga

You can never go wrong with Dr Rong!!! He truly is the best dentist I’ve ever had, which is saying something because I’ve seen my fair share of dentists! He is extremely patient, gentle and seeks the absolute best for his patients no matter how many hours it takes. He worked tirelessly on one of my teeth striving for nothing short of perfection. His kindness and genuine care are truly a rarity. I HIGHLY recommend him and would give him a hundred stars if I could! Also he has a wonderful dental assistant, Maria, who is exceptionally competent and always on it!

I struggled for a long time before I decided to have my two bottom wisdom teeth extracted. Doctor Rong helped me with it. It really shocked me because it only took a few minutes to get it out and I didn‘t feel pain in the evening or the next day. My husband and my son kept asking me how I felt and they couldn’t believe. I know, even I can’t believe. Doctor Rong is extremely gentle, patient and he always listens to the customers for their concerns and expectations. The front desk Dee is very helpful and the whole team makes me feel very comfortable. I went to other dental centers before due to insurance change but I came back because Genuine Care Dental is the best and I feel most comfortable here.

Genuine Care Dental was great. I recently moved to the bay area and I can say that I have never had a dentist come out and greet me and talk through expectations in the waiting room for a cleaning. All the staff were very friendly, and the Dentist did all the cleaning himself while talking me through what he was doing and sharing tips and tricks. Overall 5 stars!
