Root Canal Therapy In pineridge calgary ne
If you have a tooth that is in pain and is not getting any better, it could be time for root canal therapy. Root canal therapy is a dental procedure that can save your tooth from an extraction, dentures, bridges, or implants.
What is a root canal?
Root canal therapy is the process of removing the nerve from inside the tooth and then filling it with a substance to seal it up. Root canal therapy is necessary when you have an infection in the nerve of your tooth. This treatment will save your natural tooth.
Is a Root Canal Painful?
With modern advances in dental technology, root canal therapy has come a long way. We have refined our techniques so that in most cases, a root canal can be completed in one session. We use a topical anesthetic to reduce discomfort during the visit. If you experience any pain during the procedure, we will stop and apply additional anesthetic to ease any discomfort you may have. If you think you may need a root canal, we are happy to walk you through the procedure before we even begin
