Root Canal Treatment Hendersonville
Bluegrass Endodontics, PLLC – Hendersonville & Mt. Juliet TN
What is a root canal?
A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need of dental implants or bridges.
At the center of your tooth is pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature or pain in the tooth and gums.
If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed.
This therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment required. Success for this type of treatment occurs in about 90% of cases.
If your tooth is not amenable to endodontic treatment or the chance of success is unfavorable, you will be informed at the time of consultation or when a complication becomes evident during or after treatment. We use local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort.
In addition, we will provide nitrous oxide analgesia if indicated. You will be able to drive home after your treatment, and you probably will be comfortable returning to your normal routine.

What happens after root canal treatment?
When your root canal therapy has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist. You should contact their office for a follow-up restoration within a few weeks of completion at our office.
Your restorative dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth. It is rare for endodontic patients to experience complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery.
If a problem does occur, however, we are available at all times to respond: Hendersonville Office Phone Number 615-824-7546. To prevent further decay, continue to practice good dental hygiene.
How much will it cost?
The cost associated with this procedure can vary depending on factors such as the severity of damage to the affected tooth and which tooth is affected. In general, endodontic treatment is much less expensive than tooth removal and replacement with an artificial tooth.

Patient Review By Maggie M
Dr Van Dusen was amazing. I was very nervous. He was kind and compassionate and very competent. He explained everything ahead of time and answered all my questions. Procedure was pain free! He called and checked on me the next day even though it was the weekend and his day off! He didn't suggest doing things that didn't need to be done and I believe he is honest and has a lot of integrity. He seems to genuinely care about people. His work is excellent. He is a fantastic Dr. I would recommend him to anyone! The TV on the ceiling didn't hurt to have either! A great bonus distraction. 🙂 The staff was competent and kind as well. Overall good experience!

Patient Review By David S
As a first timer to this location, I was relieved to be relieved from the pain I was feeling. Anyone is always a bit "on edge" when having this procedure done but it went relatively quick and best of all with very little discomfort other than when I was finished I felt like I was slobbering all over myself due to the numbing. I hope I never have to go through a root canal again... but IF I do, I would have Dr. Sandlin and his most awesome assistant, Haley do it again. I highly recommend them. Thank you both for your friendliness and professionalism.
