Saving Hopeless Teeth
Root Canal Therapy
Teeth with roots that have been damaged or infected used to require
extraction, which can cause a lot of problems and should be avoided
whenever possible. The good news is that we are well experienced in
advanced root canal therapy.
A root canal is a procedure to fix a tooth by removing the pulp
chamber of a tooth and filling it with a filling material. This is
often necessary when dental decay reaches the nerve of the tooth (or
the tooth has become infected), and a simple filling will not be
suitable.
In the not too distant past, the situation mentioned above would
have required the tooth to be extracted. When dentists started
performing root canals, they were quite painful, and the root canal
has received a reputation as something to be avoided. However, with
modern anesthetics and technology, the root canals we can perform in
our practice are tolerable and sometimes even painless.
