Root Canals
Has a tooth been hurting without getting any better? This is just one possible sign that you have a tooth infection in the pulp or inner area near the root. Our dentist offers root canals in Boulder, CO, to address these issues and make your teeth healthy again.
What Is a Root Canal?
It’s an endodontic treatment that removes infected matter from inside teeth. Root canals involve clearing out and disinfecting the canals in your teeth to eliminate infections.
Why You Might Need This Treatment
Our dentist may recommend this approach if you have an infected tooth root. These infections can cause ongoing or severe pain, increased sensitivity, and other signs, such as tender gums.
Benefits of Root Canals
These treatments offer the following advantages:
- Saves natural tooth from extraction
- Eliminates infections and prevents them from spreading
- Eases tooth pain and other symptoms
What to Expect During a Root Canal
This process involves numbing the area, opening the tooth, and removing all of the infected matter inside. Once it’s gone, we disinfect the canals, apply filling, and seal the tooth.
Are Root Canals Safe?
Yes, they’re an effective and safe way to treat infections. You may feel minimal discomfort during treatment and slight soreness afterward.
