While root canals may sound scary, the truth is that they offer a lot of benefits to your oral health. For starters, you’ll probably feel a lot better once we remove the source of your dental pain and discomfort. A root canal stops the infection in your tooth from spreading. This safeguards not only your other teeth, but the rest of your body from harm.
Another advantage of root canal therapy is that you’re able to avoid tooth extraction. In general, our dentists recommend root canals as a last resort. Once you reach the point of no return, your tooth will need to be extracted to protect your overall health and wellness.
Root canal treatment allows us to save teeth with significant injury or decay so you can keep smiling with confidence.
