Root Canal Therapy – A Way to Save Your Teeth
We believe in doing everything we can to help our patients save their natural teeth. Preserving the root of the tooth is extremely important to your oral health. Not only does a healthy tooth root support the tooth structure, but it also keeps the jawbone healthy and the structure of the face intact. For teeth that have experienced severe decay or trauma, one way we can save the teeth is with the use of root canal therapy. Unfortunately, over the years, thanks in part to many movies and television shows, root canal treatment has been continuously described as a scary or painful procedure. The reality is that a root canal is anything but painful or scary. In fact, a root canal is often used to alleviate the pain that can be associated with an infection in the tooth.
