Gentle Root Canal Therapy to Stop Pain

Many people fear the term “root canal,” but the procedure is actually designed to relieve pain, not cause it. When the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected due to deep decay or injury, a root canal is the only way to save the tooth and prevent a painful abscess or extraction.

The Root Canal Process

  1. Comfort First: We ensure the area is completely numb. Most patients feel no more discomfort than they would during a standard filling.
  2. Cleaning: Dr. Brooks removes the infected tissue from inside the tooth.
  3. Sealing: The tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed with a protective material.
  4. Protection: Usually, a dental crown is placed on top to restore the tooth’s full strength.

FAQ:

Is it better to pull the tooth?

No. Keeping your natural tooth is always the best option for your long-term jaw health and alignment.
