Is it necessary to get a root canal?

Root canals are restorative procedures performed to avoid extracting a tooth. It can be the last resort to save the structure and is often successful. This eliminates the need for extra work, including extractions and tooth replacement with dentures, bridges, or dental implants.

Are root canals painful?

Absolutely not! In fact, it is often a toothache that brings patients into our practice for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Root canals are performed with proper local anesthetics as well as sedation to ensure optimum patient comfort throughout the procedure.

Why would I need to undergo root canal therapy?

Root canal therapy may be desirable for patients who want to keep their natural tooth and avoid dealing with replacement options. Root canal therapy is often performed for patients who have a toothache caused by a large cavity or an infection of the dental pulp within the tooth structure. Removing and replacing the dental pulp eliminates the nerves within the teeth that cause pain and discomfort to a patient.
