Root Canals:
What To Know About Root Canals
The process of performing a root canal can vary between dental offices. We use the latest technology and procedures to make it work. First, we remove the pulp tissue, including nerves, connective tissue, and blood vessels, and then clear any bacteria inside the tooth. Then, it’s sealed in much the same way as a cavity.
Next, a crown is placed on the tooth, which holds it together and protects the inside of the tooth. Dental crowns often last for years, and are an important step to your complete smile makeover. Don’t forget, root canal therapy protects the remaining natural tooth from further infection, and even reinfection. Through the root canal process, the tooth will continue to receive nourishment from the body.
They’ll also relieve pain and leave your overall oral health in much better shape than before.
