Comfortable Root Canal Therapy in a Single Appointment
Root canal therapy (RCT) may be necessary when bacteria has entered your tooth, causing your nerve to become sore, inflammed or infected. It is a procedure that saves your tooth from extraction and saves you the expense of having a replacement, such as a dental implant or dental bridge.
While root canals are one of the most feared procedures however the procedure itself is often without pain and is quite comfortable. In most cases the pain associated with the term root canal comes from the condition of the tooth when patients initially seek treatment. When patients come in with a toothache, we will ensure that they are completely numb and the tooth is medicated before the root canal procedure is started. We have advance numbing techniques which ensure that the sorest tooth can be relieved of pain.
