Dr. Magers and our team are dedicated to providing gentle, effective root canal treatment to save your natural tooth and relieve your pain.
Why Might I Need a Root Canal?
Inside each of your teeth is a soft tissue called the pulp. When this pulp becomes infected or inflamed, it can cause significant pain and discomfort. A root canal is needed to clean the tooth, remove the infection, and prevent further damage. Living with dental pain? Give us a call today to get the much-needed relief you deserve.
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
Even with diligent brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth over time, especially in those hard-to-reach places we just can’t reach.
- Saves Your Natural Tooth: Whenever possible, we want to help you keep your natural teeth. Root canal therapy allows us to save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
- Relieves Pain: An infected tooth can cause severe pain and discomfort. Root canal therapy effectively eliminates the source of the infection and provides much-needed relief.
- Restores Function: Once your tooth is restored, you’ll be able to chew and speak normally again.
- Prevents Further Damage: By addressing the infection, we can prevent it from spreading to surrounding teeth and bone.
What to Expect During a Root Canal
- Numbing: We’ll make sure you’re completely comfortable by numbing the area around the tooth.
- Cleaning the Infection: Dr. Magers will gently clean the infection from inside your tooth.
- Filling and Sealing: The tooth is filled with a special dental filling material and sealed to prevent reinfection, restoring the natural strength of your tooth and giving you all the functionality back!
- Restoration: In some cases, a crown is placed over the tooth to provide strength and protection. This isn’t always necessary, and Dr. Magers will discuss the best options for your individual needs.
