Root Canals

Relief from Pain that Saves Your Tooth!

Anyone who has suffered from the agony of an inflamed tooth knows the benefits of root canal therapy. However, many people mistakenly believe that a root canal causes discomfort, so they put off treatment. The real culprit is the trauma or illness, which compromises the pulp, or never center, of the tooth. When the nerves inside a tooth suffer deep trauma or develop serious decay, the pulp dies, pressure builds up, and tooth loss can occur, if left untreated.

To save your tooth and alleviate the pressure, your dentist will remove the diseased tissue, sterilize the chamber, and seal the tooth to prevent further trouble. With sedation dentistry to encourage relaxation, many patients actually sleep during treatment. After root canal therapy, patients may feel mild irritation, but over-the-counter pain medications will easily control any discomfort.
