What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a procedure designed to save severely damaged or infected teeth. The most common reason for a root canal is due to a deep cavity. Other reasons include an untreated fracture or crack, or an injury to the tooth. Dental at the Bow performs root canal treatments with precision and care to alleviate pain and restore your oral health. During the root canal procedure, your skilled dentist will carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth, disinfect the root canals, and then fill the resulting space with a special biocompatible material that restores the tooth to its full function. The root canal process removes the source of the infection, prevents its spread and helps preserve the natural structure of the tooth, allowing you to avoid an extraction.
Root canal therapy not only provides relief from the intense pain caused by tooth infections or damage, but also restores the function of the tooth, letting you eat, speak and smile comfortably. By preserving your natural tooth, root canal therapy helps maintain the alignment of your teeth and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting, protecting the integrity of your smile. Root canal treatment at Dental at the Bow is an effective solution to maintain your oral health and to help keep you smiling for a lifetime!
