At Carolina Avenue Dental Care, we understand the importance of saving your natural teeth. Our experienced dentist and dedicated team are committed to providing top-quality root canal therapy, a vital treatment to preserve teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted due to infection or decay.
Understanding Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth. This infection is typically caused by bacteria that have invaded the tooth’s pulp, often due to decay, cracks or injury. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection. Dr. Thomas may recommend root canal therapy if you are experiencing:
- Severe toothache pain upon chewing or application of pressure
- Prolonged sensitivity or pain to hot or cold temperatures
- Discoloration of the tooth
- Swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums
- A persistent or recurring pimple on the gums
Your Root Canal Experience
Our approach to root canal therapy is centered on patient comfort and effective treatment. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a pain-free experience. We use the latest techniques and equipment to ensure the treatment is as efficient and comfortable as possible.
