Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy tends to get a bad rap among dental patients but the truth is, it's one of the most common procedures practiced in modern dentistry. It's a relatively simple service that can save you a lot of time and money (and not to mention teeth).
When do you need root canal Therapy?
To put it simply, root canal therapy becomes necessary when your dental pulp becomes infected OR infection becomes highly likely. Your dental pulp is essentially a collection of nerve trunks and blood vessels at the center of your tooth which can become infected after decay, cracking, etc. The pulp acts as a sort of alarm system for your teeth that emits pain to let you know that you likely need to visit a dentist as soon as you can.
What occurs during the Root Canal Therapy procedure?
The procedure itself is the actual removal of the infected dental pulp and the thorough cleaning of the surrounding area. One of our highly trained dentists would essentially extract the pulp that is causing the pain and put a filling in your tooth to ensure that nothing can get back in to cause further decay or malformation. It really is that simple of a procedure.
