Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a common and effective procedure used to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp and nerves. This often happens when decay or injury extends past the outer enamel into the deeper layers of the tooth. If left untreated, the infection can lead to the tooth dying and potentially requiring extraction.
During root canal treatment, our experienced dentist removes the damaged tissue from within the tooth, thoroughly cleans it, and fills it with a medicated material to restore health. A dental crown is often placed afterward to protect and restore the tooth’s shape and function. Most root canal treatments can be completed comfortably in just one or two visits using advanced techniques, tools, and anesthesia.
Although some fear that root canal treatment may be painful, we prioritize your comfort and use modern methods to ensure a stress-free, pleasant experience. Contact our office today to learn more about root canal therapy. We’re here to support your oral health every step of the way.
