Dependable Root Canal Therapy

Anytime one of your teeth sustains an injury as a result of decay or a fracture, there is a possibility that the tooth will eventually need root canal therapy. When you begin to experience pain, often due to hot and cold food and drinks or pressure, it could likely mean that your tooth has sustained an irreversible pulpitis or a periapical abscess. Irreversible pulpitis is the result of inflamed pulp or nerve tissue within your tooth. That inflamed tissue often leads to the periapical abscess or a painful infection occurring at the apex of the root of your tooth.

Root canal therapy begins with an anesthetic to ensure that you're comfortable throughout the procedure. Our staff will isolate your affected tooth, using a dental dam to prevent possible contamination of the inner portion of your tooth. Then, a high-speed drill is used to enter the surface of your tooth to access the internal pulp area.
