Root Canal Therapy
Natural teeth are meant to last a lifetime
Years ago, diseased or injured teeth frequently were extracted. But today, even if the nerve in one of your teeth becomes injured or infected, the tooth often can be saved through root canal (endodontic) therapy. Most patients have heard a story that traveled down the grapevine regarding this type of treatment. What is important for you to understand is that you will be completely comfortable during this procedure. If you have had a filling done in the past with dental anesthetic, it would not be much different than this sensation.
To perform a root canal, Dr. Mindy will first make sure that you are totally comfortable by discussing the procedure with you and administering sufficient anesthesia. Once you're ready, she will gently and conservatively remove the damaged nerve, fill the canal with manmade material, and seal the tooth. While your preserved tooth will no longer be alive, it will stay strong and intact so that your bite is not effected.
