Dental Root Canal Treatment

Hopeless Teeth? Maybe We Can Save Them!
It used to be that teeth with damaged or infected roots required extraction. Because this can cause a variety of difficulties, it should be a last resort. If you come into the office with an infected tooth, or if we determine that dental decay has reached the nerve of the tooth, it’s unfortunately too late for a simple filling. The best way to save the tooth is a root canal. We remove the tooth’s pulp chamber and fill it with a filling material. In the early days of root canals they were quite painful, which has earned them the reputation of something to be avoided. Luckily, with modern anesthetics and technology, root canals are often painless.
