Professional Endodontist- Root Canal Treatment. Proven, Painless Infected Tooth Root Cure. Put the Pain Away Today.
Once upon a time, if you had a tooth with a diseased nerve, you’d probably lose that tooth. Today, with a special dental procedure called a root canal therapy you may save that tooth. Inside each tooth is the pulp which provides nutrients and nerves to the tooth, it runs like a thread down through the root. When the pulp is diseased or injured, the pulp tissue dies. If you don’t remove it, your tooth gets infected and you could lose it. After the dentist removes the pulp, the root canal is cleaned and sealed off to protect it. Then your dentist places a crown over the tooth to help make it stronger.
Most of the time, a root canal is a relatively simple procedure with little or no discomfort involving one to three visits. Best of all, it can save your tooth and your smile!

This tooth has massive tooth decay on the surface down into the pulp of the tooth. The pulp has become infected and the nerves in your tooth and possibly in your jaw will ache with pain. It is possible to have an infected tooth yet feel no pain. Due to the opening in the tooth the infection has a way of draining and may not hurt. Symptoms at this stage are: Bad Breath, Hot and/or Cold Sensation, Sweet Sensation or pain when using the tooth. |
