Repair and save a decayed or infected tooth with a root canal procedure at First Choice Dentistry. While many associate root canals with pain, our root canal procedure is painless and gets the job done.
A root canal procedure is a treatment solution for anyone suffering from a badly infected tooth. An infected tooth can be extremely painful and requires quick and prompt treatment. Apart from the pain it causes, an infected tooth that’s not promptly treated causes spread of an infection to other adjacent teeth. During a root procedure, the dentist will remove the infected nerve tissue and clean out the inside of the tooth. Once the tooth is cleaned, it will be sealed off to prevent future infections.
A root canal procedure is the best option for treating an infected tooth. In most cases, a root canal procedure is successful in saving the tooth and avoiding further damage. However, in rare cases, the infection may return or the root canal may not be completely successful. In these cases, another root canal procedure may be necessary or the tooth may need to be extracted.
