When the nerves and blood vessels in a tooth, usually referred to as the “pulp,” become inflamed or infected, root canal treatment can be performed to preserve the tooth and avoid extraction and loss of the natural tooth. Endodontic therapy or “root canal treatment” removes the infected or inflamed tissue from the inside of the tooth and thus relieves the pain and eliminates the source of the infection. Most root canal treatments can be accomplished in one visit after which you will return to your general dentist to complete the restoration of the tooth which usually will be accomplished by placing a crown on the tooth to protect it and restore it to its original form.
Though many people have the perception that root canal treatment is painful, our endodontists will ensure that your experience will be comfortable. There are many techniques available that the doctors can use to provide complete anesthesia for the tooth and better outcomes and less anxiety for you.
