Have you noticed increased tooth sensitivity? Does your tooth look darker than usual? Do you experience intense tooth pain when biting down and chewing? If so, you may suffer from an infection in the dental pulp and nerves of the tooth. The tooth pulp and nerves, which are located in the center of the tooth, may become infected and damaged when decay or trauma reach past the tooth enamel and affect the inner portions of the tooth. During root canal therapy, our skilled dentist will remove the infected dental pulp and tooth nerves, clean the tooth, and fill the tooth with a special medicated material. Finally, to restore the tooth’s function and structure, Dr. [doctor_name] will cap the tooth with a dental filling or crown. Depending on your individual dental needs, your root canal in [city], [state] can be completed in only one or two comfortable visits to our office.
Root canal therapy can greatly benefit your smile. First, root canal therapy prevents the infection from spreading to other teeth and causing further damage and pain. Second, root canal therapy restores the health of the tooth and prevents the need for tooth extraction. We welcome you to contact us today at the dental office of [practice_name] to learn more about root canal therapy and its benefits. We look forward to restoring the health of your smile.
