Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure recommended when the pulp and nerves of your teeth become infected or damaged. This condition usually occurs when an injury or decay penetrates deep into the tooth, beyond the protective outer enamel layer. When untreated, this can cause your tooth to die and require a tooth extraction. A root canal works to prevent this from happening, saving your tooth and restoring your oral health and smile.
The Root Canal Procedure
During a root canal treatment, our experienced dentist will carefully remove the infected or injured tissues from inside the tooth. This process is essential to eliminate the source of infection and prevent it from spreading. Once cleaned, the tooth is filled with a medicated material to promote healing. To restore the tooth’s strength and functionality, it is then sealed with a dental crown.
Ensuring Your Comfort
There is a common misconception that root canals are painful. Thanks to advances in technology, anesthetics and treatment techniques, root canal therapy can be completed with minimal discomfort. Our dentist and team will take care to ensure your comfort during your procedure and will provide you with instructions afterwards to help you heal and recover.
