Saving Your Natural Teeth
Root canal therapy treats inflamed, infected, or dead pulp within a tooth, which includes nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Symptoms can include visible injury, temperature sensitivity, or pain in the tooth and gums. During the procedure, the pulp is removed, and the canals are cleaned with disinfectant. Local anesthesia or sedation ensures your comfort. Afterward, a temporary filling protects the tooth until restoration is complete. Tooth sensitivity can be managed with pain medications as needed. Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the full restoration is done, and contact our office if any issues arise.
