Root canal therapy
ImpressiveSMILES provides treatment for teeth that require root canal therapy.
Each tooth contains a dental pulp—a collection of blood vessels and nerves at its center. These nerves are highly sensitive and prone to injury or death. The most common causes of inflammation, infection, or necrosis of the dental pulp include deep tooth decay that has been neglected, as well as trauma, cracks, chips, or repeated dental procedures on the same tooth. When the nerve starts to deteriorate or dies, we're left with two main treatment options: tooth extraction or root canal therapy.
Root canal therapy involves thoroughly cleaning and sterilizing the root canal system of the tooth, removing bacteria and debris, and then filling the chambers inside the tooth to prevent recontamination.
Choosing a root canal is an effective way to save a tooth with infected or inflamed pulp, eliminating the need for extraction. It's important to note that root canals are a routine and widely practiced procedure, and there's no need to fear them. Save your tooth and maintain your oral health with the proven benefits of root canal therapy.
