At High Country Dental, we are committed to providing the best solutions to protect and preserve your natural teeth. One of the most effective treatments for severely damaged or infected teeth is a root canal. Root canal therapy is a highly successful procedure that can save a tooth from extraction, alleviate pain, and restore the health of your smile.
What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure that treats the inside of a tooth when the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected or damaged. This can happen due to deep decay, a crack or chip in the tooth, or trauma. If left untreated, an infection in the pulp can spread to surrounding tissues, leading to abscesses, bone loss, and tooth loss. The root canal process involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inner tooth, and sealing it with a filling or crown to protect it from further damage.
Benefits of a Root Canal
Pain Relief: One of the main benefits of root canal therapy is the immediate relief from pain and discomfort caused by an infected or inflamed tooth. Patients often experience significant improvement in comfort after treatment.
Tooth Preservation: A root canal allows you to keep your natural tooth, which is important for maintaining proper bite function, jaw alignment, and the aesthetics of your smile.
Preventing Further Issues: By removing the infection and sealing the tooth, root canal therapy prevents the spread of bacteria to other teeth and gum tissue, protecting your overall oral health.
