ROOT CANALS
Endodontics, or root canal therapy, is needed when the inner nerve of your tooth is decaying or infected. One of the most common and noticeable symptoms of a needed root canal, is the extreme sensitivity and pain to pressure and/or temperature. In some case, little to no symptoms are present in the beginning stages, but in the prolonged stages a sore may start to form.
TWO WAYS TO HANDLE A ROOT CANAL
ONE: EXTRACTION
Our office offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas), for some extraction procedures, if needed. Extraction of a root canal takes strategic planning to ensure the integrity of the rest of your teeth and overall oral health.
TWO: ROOT CANAL THERAPY
Root canal therapy is a great option if you remain consistent. This option has the ability to regain full functionality without possibly affecting the future placement of surrounding teeth.
