A large cavity or fracture may cause the inside of the tooth to become infected. When this happens, the nerve swells, causing painful pressure within the tooth. A root canal involves cleaning out the bacteria and sealing the tooth, relieving pain and preventing further infection.
As conservative general dentists, our goal is to preserve you natural teeth as long as possible. Root canal therapy will allow you to keep a tooth that would otherwise require extraction. With modern techniques and sedation, root canal therapy is comfortable, successful, and often completed in a single visit.
Our dentists have advanced training in endodontics (root canals) and perform the procedure on all teeth, including molars, without outside referrals. Of course, if we feel that you would benefit from the care of a specialist, we will refer you to a trusted colleague.
