Root Canals

Conservative Treatment for Healthy Teeth

You feel that unmistakable throbbing pain and think to yourself, “Oh NO”. A trip to the dentist may not be on your agenda for the day, but don’t let that aching tooth wait! The pressure and discomfort you feel will only get worse, and an untreated infection can lead to tooth extraction. Prompt attention to your irritated tooth is the best bet to avoid invasive, costly dental treatments down the line.

Why Do I Need a Root Canal?

It’s likely that the agony you’re feeling is due to an infection in the pulp, or nerve center, of your tooth. Many people mistakenly believe that a root canal is what causes pain, when the real culprit is the illness or bacteria inside the tooth. A root canal relieves the pressure in your tooth as we clean out the diseased canal. Once we’ve removed the source of the infection, we’ll sterilize the chamber, fill it with a biologically compatible substance and seal your tooth. Sweet relief!

We know that root canals have a bad reputation, but we promise you, they’re not that bad! With today’s advanced anesthetics, and our doctor’s skill, you'll rest peacefully, and may even sleep, through the entire procedure.
