Root Canals

If your tooth's nerve sustains severe damage or excessive decay, the tooth will eventually die. This tooth poses a risk for infection, which holds serious consequences to overall health, and the inflammation inside the tooth often causes serious pain. In some cases, we may need to remove the dying tooth. However, Dr. Christopher or Dr. Natalie can often save a tooth from extraction by performing a root canal.

Modern root canal techniques, combined with anesthesia, keep our patients relaxed during the procedure. If you need a root canal, your dentist will review your comfort options, including Anxiolysis (anxiety reducing dentistry). Once you feel at ease, the doctor will remove the damaged tissue from inside the tooth and replace it with manmade material. While the damaged tooth will not be alive, it will still function properly. A root canal can save your tooth, keep your bite intact, and revive your oral health.
