Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment, often referred to as endodontic therapy, is a specialized dental procedure aimed at saving a tooth that is severely decayed, infected, or damaged. At Dr. Tooth Advanced Dental Care, we understand the importance of preserving natural teeth whenever possible, and our experienced team is skilled in providing high-quality root canal treatment to help our patients maintain healthy smiles.

During a root canal procedure, the infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth is carefully removed to eliminate pain and prevent further spread of infection. The tooth’s interior is then thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent bacteria from re-entering the tooth and causing reinfection.

Contrary to common misconceptions, root canal treatment is not a painful procedure. In fact, it is designed to alleviate the severe toothache and discomfort caused by dental infections. Our team utilizes advanced techniques and local anesthesia to ensure that you remain comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process.

Root canal treatment is typically completed in one or two appointments, depending on the complexity of the case. Following the procedure, a dental crown may be placed over the treated tooth to provide added strength and protection, restoring its function and appearance.

By saving the natural tooth through root canal therapy, patients can avoid the need for tooth extraction and maintain proper chewing function, bite alignment, and overall oral health. With proper care and maintenance, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can last a lifetime, allowing you to enjoy a healthy smile for years to come.

If you are experiencing severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, swelling, or other symptoms of dental infection, don’t wait to seek treatment. Our compassionate team at Dr. Tooth Advanced Dental Care is here to help relieve your discomfort and restore your oral health through expert root canal therapy.
