Root Canals
If you experience tooth pain, you may need a root canal. But don’t worry – modern root canal therapy is a comfortable and conservative treatment that can alleviate your discomfort and may save your tooth from extraction.
The canals that extend from the pulp, or nerve, inside a tooth play a crucial role: they transport blood and nutrients to the tooth root and remove toxins. When these canals are damaged by a deep cavity, fracture, or other trauma, they can become susceptible to infection. Left untreated, the pulp may die and you could experience acute pain as well tooth and gum loss.
Early-stage infection can be eradicated with a root canal. Your dentist will clean out the canals of your compromised tooth, insert a biocompatible filler, and mount a custom crown atop the tooth. The crown restores dental form and function and protects against further damage. You’ll leave our office with a strong, healthy tooth and a fantastic smile!
