Endodontic therapy or root canal therapy is a great treatment option to saving a problematic tooth as opposed to an extraction. In many cases, a root canal followed by a custom fabricated crown enables a patient to keep their natural teeth and preserve its function for years to come.
A common misconception is that a root canal is uncomfortable and time consuming due to multiple appointments. While each case is unique, root canals performed by an experienced dentists and staff produces minimal discomfort and can be finished on the same day for many cases.
Common causes requiring the need of root canal therapy treatment:
- Inflamed/infected tooth pulp
- Severe sensitivity to hot and cold elements
- Tooth decay
- Severely Chipped or broken tooth
- Trauma to the tooth
- Swelling, pain, or tenderness at or near the infected tooth
- Repeated restorative procedures on a tooth without alleviating pain/discomfort
