Save Your Tooth With Effective Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure used to treat a tooth that has become infected or damaged on the inside. During the procedure, our dentist removes the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the area, and then seals it to prevent further infection.
Root canal therapy can be a highly effective way to save a damaged or infected tooth and prevent the need for extraction. It is typically recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, has a deep cavity, or has suffered trauma that has damaged the pulp.
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure that is performed when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed.
During the procedure, our dentist will remove the infected pulp and clean out the inside of the tooth. Once the inside of the tooth is cleaned, our dentist will fill the space with a rubber-like material and seal the tooth to prevent further infection.
Root canal therapy is typically a painless procedure that is performed under local anesthesia. After the procedure, the tooth may be sore for a few days, but this discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
While root canal therapy has a reputation for being a painful and unpleasant procedure, advances in dental technology and anesthesia have made the procedure much more comfortable and efficient.
Who Should Get Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is typically recommended for individuals who have an infected or inflamed pulp inside a tooth. Common signs of an infected pulp include tooth pain, sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, and swelling around the affected tooth.
Our dentist will be able to determine if root canal therapy is necessary based on a thorough examination of your teeth and symptoms.
