Dental Root Canal

Saving Hopeless Teeth

A root canal will save a tooth with damaged or infected roots. In the past, a tooth with root problems was extracted. This should be avoided as much as possible, as other problems can result. Our doctors are very experienced in the latest techniques of root canal therapy. During a root canal procedure, the interior pulp chamber of a tooth is removed and a special filling material is packed into the tooth. A crown may be placed over the tooth if additional strength is needed. In years past, the root canal received a reputation of something to be avoided. But with the latest advancements and modern anesthetics, patients now find it is a manageable procedure.
