Root Canals
|
When decay or damage to a tooth has reached to the pulp of fibrous tissue within the tooth, a tooth becomes diseased and opens to bacterial infection. To save your natural tooth, root canal therapy is required. Often, but not always, the patient feels pain or discomfort that only a root canal can alleviate.
A root canal at Leander Dental Care involves removing the damaged enamel and the diseased portion of the tooth, then refilling the space, and capping it with a crown to restore the strength of the tooth. Once your procedure is completed, you should have the full use of your tooth again and you should be free from discomfort and pain. For more information on root canals, please contact us. |
