Root Canal Therapy
At the center of your tooth is pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood
vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp
can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or
repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection can be identified
as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature
or pain in the tooth and gums.
This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly
cleaned and sealed. This therapy usually involves local anesthesia and
may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment
required. We use local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. You will be
able to drive home after your treatment, and you probably will be
comfortable returning to your normal routine.
