Unsurpassed dental care & comfort
A root canal is needed when damage occurs to a tooth’s pulp. This can happen due to an infection, abscess, injury or due to severe tooth decay.
Many people fear root canals because they misunderstand the procedure or they think about the pain of the root canal infection, not the procedure itself. The reality is that root canals do not cause pain—in fact, they actually relieve it.
We are committed to providing you with the highest quality dental care in a comfortable and relaxing environment. Please fill out the form below to book your appointment today.
A root canal is needed when decay or trauma has reached the innermost portion of your tooth. This is the part of the tooth that houses the nerves, pulp, and tissue that keep your tooth alive and healthy.
When a deep cavity penetrates this inner part of your tooth, the first thing you will probably notice is pain that does not go away.
Once the infection or damage has reached this stage, a root canal is the only treatment option left to provide you with relief. If we don’t perform a root canal, the tooth may need to be extracted or the pain will just continue and worsen.
We do our best to accommodate unexpected emergencies, including toothaches, and can schedule an appointment as soon as possible so you get the care you need.
Teeth with root canal tend to be brittle and prone to fractures. Therefore a crown is recommended soon after.
Root canal removes the damaged interior of the tooth along with the nerve, relieving the pain you are experiencing.
Your pulp is then removed and the cavity is cleaned and treated with an antiseptic agent and filled with special cement. Your specialist then covers your tooth with a filling or temporary crown.
With good oral care, your root canal should keep your tooth healthy for the rest of your life. Feel free to contact us today or request an appointment online.
