ROOT CANALS AT SMILE ALWAYS
Endodontics, or root canal therapy, occurs when bacteria gets into the nerve of your tooth. Root canals are needed as a response to either inflammation (swelling of the nerve) or bacterial infection of the nerve. Although root canals have a bad rap in society, root canals are now usually very straightforward experiences which will help a patient get out of pain quickly and reliably and will help save a tooth which may need to otherwise be pulled, thanks to modern technology and medical advances. They are a great resource for helping a patient get back to optimal health.
At Smile Always, you can rest assured our experienced and compassionate Parker dental team will help you answer all of your questions and ensure you feel comfortable during this process. It can be overwhelming to hear you need a root canal but with the right care, we can have you back to healthy in no time!
What Is A Root Canal?
Root canals are a treatment for removing infected nerve tissue from a tooth and replacing them with a filling. They clean out a tooth that is infected.
How Many Visits Does A Root Canal Take?
Root canals can usually be completed in one visit unless the tooth is severely infected. If this is the case, then the root will be filled with a medicine and will be completed at another visit. A temporary filling will be placed in your tooth in between the two appointments if this is needed. The majority of root canals performed in our office are done in one visit.
