Save Your Smile with Root Canal Therapy in Rockwall
Resolve Problems Within Your Tooth Structure
Root canal therapy takes on problems that affect the inner structure of your tooth. Learning you need to work this involved can be intimidating, but you should know that it can prevent serious complications with your oral health. Undergoing this service can put a stop to active pain and other tooth troubles, prevent the need for extraction, and stop the spread of infection beyond your tooth!
What Makes Root Canal Therapy Necessary?
Root canal therapy makes treatment possible when a cavity has already caused an infection to form within the pulp, your tooth’s central chamber. It is also used to address physical tooth injuries that create internal problems. Bacteria that gather here can cause serious issues, as they can attack living tissues and can move through your roots into your bloodstream.
A tooth infection can be a painful problem, and it can cause issues with swelling and discoloration. If these or any other worrying symptoms are present, we will perform an evaluation to confirm that a root canal is needed. After completing this service, we can provide a custom restoration to protect your tooth.
Restoring Your Tooth After Treatment
Restoring your tooth properly after root canal treatment will prevent future difficulties. To complete the service, Dr. Minth will seal the pulp and protect you against future infection. To keep the overall structure safe, we will provide a custom crown that covers your tooth above the gumline and provides a defense against harm as well as important bite support.
