Root canals used to get a scary reputation but with advances in technology, they now feel similar to having a cavity filled- minor discomfort. At Lehigh Valley Smiles in Easton, PA, we use rotary endodontics to make this possible.
In the past, manual, steel files were used to perform root canals. Rotary endodontics uses an electric drill that has a much more flexible file, made of titanium alloy. The flexibility allows the dentist to go further into the root without stretching or damaging the canal. This means a more comfortable experience for the patient during and after the procedure. The electric drill is also much quieter than the manual files of the past, so those who get anxious about hearing the drilling will be at ease with the quiet noise. In addition to these benefits, rotary endodontics allows us to perform root canals quicker than before. This is a benefit for both the patient and the dentist.
