Your dentist may suggest a root canal treatment when your tooth’s pulp becomes infected, inflamed, or damaged. This can happen due to deep cavities, dental trauma, fractures in the tooth, or repeated dental procedures on the same tooth. Oftentimes, these instances cause severe pain, sensitivity, and swollen or tender gums.
Root canal treatment, or endodontic therapy, allows you to keep your natural tooth and continue enjoying a healthy, functional smile. It is a procedure where the dentist removes the infected pulp, disinfects and shapes the inside your tooth, and then seals it to prevent further infection. It is completed by placing a filling or crown over the treated tooth to protect it and restore it to full function.
Our dentists are highly trained in pain-free endodontic treatments and use state-of-the-art microscopes to ensure precise and predictable results.
