Root Canals in St. Francisville

Is a particular tooth in severe pain? We know it’s impacting your quality of life; no one wants to experience the joys of life with constant pain. There’s a chance that your tooth may be infected on the inside. Infections can be caused by decay or impact to a tooth. If not treated properly, there is a high chance that the tooth can die. Root canal therapy is offered as part of general dentistry services and allows us to stop the infection. 

Bacteria and decay can find their way into the inside roots of your tooth. This leads to inflammation and tooth destruction. The infection caused by the bacteria puts a lot of pressure on your interior tooth nerves. Once the tooth is infected, treatment can only be a root canal or full extraction.

Root Canal Procedure

Oral surgery is needed to successfully clear out bacteria and decay inside of the tooth. The top of the tooth is removed; this allows your dentist to access the root canals. Next, the canals are thoroughly cleaned, all decay and bacteria is removed. Once the tooth is disinfected the tooth is filled with sterile material and the tooth is closed. In most cases, a dental crown is also placed over the tooth for added protection.
