When the nerve of the tooth becomes infected it is necessary for your dentist to remove the nerve and fill the space inside the tooth and root.
The procedure is called a Root Canal and will require permanent restoration once it is completed.
It is a common misconception that a root canal is a painful procedure, when in fact it is the nerve inflammation before the root canal is completed which causes most of the pain. We will make sure your tooth has profound anesthesia before starting the procedure. Once the nerve of the tooth is cleaned and the canals, sterilized, the pain disappears as well.
We know our caring dentists will make your visit as comfortable as possible.
It is important to talk about final restoration of the tooth before the Root Canal procedure. It may be necessary for a Post & Core, and Crown to be performed for a final restoration after the Root Canal is completed.
