Root Canal Therapy for Winston-Salem
An infected tooth pulp, which contains the nerves and tissues of the tooth, is a serious risk to your smile and overall health. It is critical to remove the tooth or remove the damaged portion of the tooth with root canal therapy.
When Do I Need Endodontics?
If you have a tooth infection and need a root canal procedure, the treatment will begin with a digital x-ray of the tooth. If the tooth is infected, but not too far gone, we can save the natural tooth with root canal therapy.
- Our dentist will apply a localized anesthetic. We will offer patient comforts and sedation options. It is imperative for us that you have a pleasant and painless experience.
- Once the area is fully numb and the patient is relaxed, treatment begins. We will form a small access hole in the tooth to remove the infected bacteria and pulp.
- We will thoroughly clean the affected area and root canals.
- The tooth will be sealed with a rubbery biocompatible material to prevent future problems.
- Typically, a crown or filling is placed to further protect the tooth.
