Root Canals

Dental treatment is not something that any of us wish for, but sometimes it’s the best thing for our smile. Root canals become necessary when the pulp of a tooth becomes infected. Rather than waiting until the pain is unbearable or having to remove the tooth, a root canal prevents extraction by removing the infection.

Root canals may sound scary, but they are a simple procedure that can be painless. Sedation dentistry can be used to help you feel relaxed and at ease throughout the root canal procedure. The procedure involves the removal of the tooth pulp, in turn removing the tooth’s infection. This not only saves the tooth, but potentially saves surrounding teeth as well. A severely infected tooth can carry infection over to surrounding teeth if not treated in time. A root canal removes the infection which also removes the threat posed to any other teeth.

Why should you get a root canal right away? Avoiding or putting off a root canal could give the infection time to get worse or spread. If this happens, tooth pain could become severe and potentially turn into an abscess as well.  An abscessed tooth is extremely painful and can become a dental emergency that needs to be treated right away. By getting a root canal, you are saving yourself money down the road and extensive treatment in the future.
