Root Canals

A root canal treatment is a procedure used to remove damaged or infected tissues from the pulp of a tooth. When a cavity or injury penetrates deep enough to affect the pulp, it can lead to severe pain, swelling, and infection. In such cases, a root canal treatment may be the best and only option to save the tooth. During a root canal procedure, the affected pulp tissue is removed, and the inner canal is cleaned and filled with a special material to prevent further infection.

The tooth is then restored with a crown or filling to restore its function, strength, and aesthetics. While root canal treatments may seem intimidating, they are standard low-risk procedures that will enable you to retain your natural teeth and prevent the development of additional oral health issues linked to tooth loss. If you are experiencing symptoms such as tooth pain or severe sensitivity to heat or cold temperatures, it is crucial you contact us immediately to schedule an evaluation. Left untreated, the decay or trauma in a tooth can spread and cause further damage of the jawbone, surrounding teeth and lead to tooth loss.
