Avoid an Extraction With Root Canal Treatment

When a tooth becomes infected in its interior part (known as the pulp), you may experience a great deal of pain. Not only is eating difficult, but relaxing or trying to sleep can be next to impossible. This infection could come from leaving a cavity untreated or from some other type of damage.

In these situations, a root canal is often the best way to stop your pain and repair your tooth. Rather than extracting the tooth – which you must replace or else your teeth will shift and cause bite problems – root canal treatment removes the infected tissue and saves your tooth. When you come in for your root canal, we will:

  • Administer a local anesthetic to make sure you don’t feel any discomfort
  • Offer sedation options to help you relax, either laughing gas or a pill
  • Clean out the pulp and repair the canals inside the tooth
  • Sanitize the tooth and seal it with a rubber-like material
  • Recommend capping the repaired tooth with a crown to strengthen it and restore chewing capacity
