Root Canal Treatment Can Save Your Tooth
Root canal therapy is a beneficial treatment in that it allows us to save your tooth from an extraction. Whenever you lose a tooth, whether it comes out on its own or your dentist has to remove it, your other teeth can begin shifting positions. Over time, this can create problems with the alignment of your bite and potentially lead to more tooth loss.
A root canal repairs your diseased tooth by removing the infected pulp, letting you keep the tooth. Here’s what Dr. White will do to repair your diseased tooth:
- Our team will administer local anesthetic to ensure that the area we’re working on is fully numb.
- Dr. White will clean out the pulp chamber inside the tooth and sanitize it to prevent reinfection.
- He will seal the tooth with a rubber-like material.
- Most of the time, we recommend adding a crown to the repaired tooth to strengthen it and restore virtually all your chewing capacity.
During your root canal procedure, if you ever have a question or feel uncomfortable, just let us know and we’ll go at your pace. We want you to have a great dental experience here!
