Root Canal

Comfortable Root Canal Therapy

Do the words “root canal” send shivers down your spine? For many patients it does. The fear likely stems from the distant past, when root canals were performed without modern tools or anesthetics (freezing). Current anesthetics can create quick and profound numbness so that you don't feel any discomfort during the procedure.  With modern nickle titanium technology, instruments can effectively and efficiently clean out the infection from your tooth, making it healthy again. 

So, What Is A Root Canal?
A root canal is a treatment to remove the infection from inside the tooth. The infection can occur after a deep cavity, large crack, or fracture leaves the inside of the tooth susceptible to bacteria. The rest is often pain and swelling, which can be alleviated with root canal treatment.

When we’ve removed the infected nerve, we’ll remove any debris or bacteria left behind and fill your canal with a special sealer. The last step is putting a filling on the exterior of your tooth, and then you’re done.
Follow-up care involves thorough brushing and flossing at home and regular visits for cleanings and checkups. After root canal treatment has been completed, your restored tooth can potentially last you for a lifetime.
Today’s root canal treatment is a safe, effective, and relatively comfortable procedure, often completed in just one visit.
