Saving Your Natural Teeth
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Dentist Colorado Springs
Root canal therapy is a restorative procedure designed to save a tooth that is severely damaged or infected, often due to deep decay or injury. Dr. Nichole Anderson carefully removes the infected pulp from inside the tooth, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. After the pulp is removed, the tooth is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prevent further infection. Local anesthesia is used to ensure the procedure is pain-free.
Once the tooth is cleaned, a temporary filling is placed, followed by a permanent restoration like a crown to restore the tooth’s function and appearance. Root canal treatment helps preserve your natural tooth, relieving pain caused by infection or damage. It’s an effective way to maintain a healthy, functional smile and prevent the need for tooth extraction, keeping your smile intact and preserving your oral health.
