If you have a severely compromised tooth, a root canal may be necessary. Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp of a tooth, ridding the tooth of infection and preparing it for a filling. In addition to getting rid of the pain and discomfort caused by an infected tooth, root canals reduce the risk of infection spread and help protect your overall oral health.
Here at Sol Dental Studio, our team of experienced dental experts provides root canal treatment for patients in and around the OSol Dental Studio. We’ll help resolve your pain and restore your dental health – sometimes in as little as one appointment.
Sometimes, when a tooth becomes infected, the infection spreads to the center of the tooth, also known as the dental pulp. The dental pulp contains the nerves, connective tissue, and blood vessels associated with the tooth, all of which are sensitive and highly receptive to pain. When the tooth becomes painful, that’s a sure sign that it is infected and requires root canal treatment.
A root canal helps relieve this pain, save your natural tooth, and prevent the infection from spreading further. Delaying treatment can lead to more severe dental issues or even tooth loss. If you’re experiencing sharp pain or sensitivity, a root canal might be the solution you need for lasting relief.
