Dental Services - Root canal treatment

Root canal treatment may be required when the patient experiences severe pain and/or infection in a tooth.  The pain/infection is often a signal that the nerve of the tooth is either dying or dead.  The treatment for this involves cleaning out the rotten nerve and filling the root canals of the tooth which is a time consuming process.  Years ago an afflicted tooth would have simply been extracted.  However, root canal treatment preserves the tooth as well as eliminating the previous pain.  It is always our aim to save teeth and root canal treatment makes this possible in most cases.  Although most patients are nervous about this procedure, the treatment itself is painless with the use of local anesthetic.  In addition, our dentists are experienced in providing this treatment and use the most up-to-date equipment to make your tooth pain free and healthy.
