Dental Root Canal Treatment
Saving Hopeless Teeth
It is now known that tooth extraction should be avoided whenever possible to avoid other dental problems later on. Root canals can save a tooth with infected or damaged roots that might have warranted extraction in the past. We are very experienced in the latest advancements in this therapy.
During this procedure, a tooth with root problems can be fixed by removing the pulp from the interior of the tooth. The special filling material is packed into the tooth. Sometimes, a crown is placed over the tooth to give additional strength.
Patients have often avoided having a root canal because of the reputation they have received in the past. Advancements both in technology and anesthetics have made considerable improvements in this therapy, and patients now find root canals to be quite manageable.
