Root Canals: Saving Your Teeth with Precision

A root canal is a treatment that can save a tooth that is infected or decayed, helping to restore its function and appearance. At Salt Creek Dental, we offer root canals in a comfortable, pain-free environment, ensuring that your tooth remains healthy and your smile stays intact.

What is a Root Canal?

Root canals are procedures performed when the pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. This infection may occur due to deep decay, a crack, or injury to the tooth. The root canal procedure removes the infected tissue and fills the area to prevent further damage.

The Root Canal Process

We make sure you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the root canal procedure, which involves:

1. Consultation and Diagnosis: We evaluate your tooth with X-rays to confirm the need for a root canal.
2. Procedure: After administering local anesthesia, the infected tissue is removed, and the area is cleaned and sealed.
3. Restoration: After the tooth is treated, a crown is often placed on top to restore its strength and appearance.

Benefits of Root Canals

• Preserve Your Natural Tooth: Root canals allow you to keep your natural tooth and avoid an extraction.
• Pain Relief: Root canals alleviate the pain caused by infected tooth pulp.
• Long-Term Solution: After treatment, your tooth can last for many years with proper care.
