What is Root Canal Treatment?
Commonly called a root canal, root canal treatment is a type of endodontic therapy that is often recommended if the tooth pulp and nerves become infected or damaged. This may occur if injury or decay reaches deep into the tooth, past the outer enamel layer. When left untreated, this type of infection and disease may cause the tooth to die and necessitate tooth extraction. To restore the health of the tooth and avoid the need for extraction, our skilled dentist will remove the infected and injured tissues from within the tooth, clean the tooth, and fill it with a medicated material. We will then cap the tooth with a restoration, such as a dental crown, to return the tooth to its original shape and structure. In most cases, a root canal can be completed in only one or two comfortable visits to our office.
Who Can Get a Root Canal?
To determine if a root canal is necessary, your dentists will carefully examine your tooth and may take an X-ray to assess the condition of the pulp. If the pulp is infected or exposed, a root canal is often the most effective solution to relieve pain and save the tooth.
This procedure is both common and safe, helping restore your comfort while preventing more serious dental problems in the future.
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
Root canal treatment has a reputation for being a painful treatment. In reality, however, root canal treatment can often be completed with minimal discomfort thanks to advanced techniques, tools and anesthesia. Our dentists and entire team work hard to provide you with a pleasant and comfortable experience each time you visit our office.
