Root CanalsAt Lake Mountain Dental
Tooth Pulp Treatment
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to salvage severely damaged or infected teeth. This involves extracting the infected or inflamed pulp – the tooth’s inner soft tissue comprising nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. Following meticulous cleaning and disinfection of the damaged pulp, a biocompatible seal is applied, often accompanied by a dental crown to reinstate strength and function. Root canals are vital for pain relief, averting complications, and upholding the natural tooth, promoting ideal oral health and overall wellness.
Benefits of Root Canals
Relief
Root canals proficiently alleviate intense tooth pain arising from infection or inflammation, promptly granting relief and enhancing general dental comfort.
Preservation
Through the elimination of infected pulp and sealing of the tooth, root canals avert the necessity for tooth extraction, safeguarding the inherent tooth structure and preventing gaps or the requirement for tooth replacement alternatives.
Functionality
Following a successful root canal, the tooth reclaims its strength and function, permitting effortless chewing, speaking, and smiling, guaranteeing an unobtrusive and authentic dental restoration.
