Root Canal Therapy Shouldn't Make You Sweat...

Just the mention of a Root Canal invokes a lot of dread. Many patients are severely anxious when told that they need root canal therapy, but this routine procedure is actually a lot  simpler and more comfortable than you might realize.

We’ll numb your mouth and administer sedation as appropriate so that you don’t experience any pain or anxiety. During the treatment, we’ll create an access hole within the tooth so that we can take out the infection, we then clean the root canal thoroughly. Once the treatment is complete, we fill the now-empty space and restore the tooth with a crown.

There’s a lot to maintaining the health of your teeth and beneath the enamel is a hollow area referred to as the root canal. This area contains a soft tissue that allows your body to nourish the tooth during development. If the root canal suffers from infection or decay, this could eventually damage the tooth to the point that you lose your tooth altogether.

When a tooth becomes infected it is usually connected to the nerves in the root of the tooth. The infected nerves need to be removed because if left untreated an infection can turn into an abscess, which is a much more serious problem which includes bone loss in the jaw.

Fortunately, root canal therapy at Raines Over The Rockies Family Dentistry can both preserve the tooth and prevent the damage from worsening.  Not to mention restoring comfort to your mouth when the infection is removed, allowing you to enjoy all the foods you love without any pain from heat, cold, or biting too hard.
