Contact UsWhat is Root Canal Treatment?
When a tooth is chipped or decayed, it can often be fixed with a tooth-colored filling or other treatments if caught early. However, if the decay reaches the inner part of the tooth (known as the pulp), a root canal may be necessary to restore oral health and save the tooth from extraction. Root canal therapy is a procedure performed at Life Dental & Orthodontics to remove infected inner tooth tissue and seal off the damaged tooth to improve oral health. Our experienced dental team treats abscessed or internally damaged teeth with precision root canal therapy and offers sedation options for added comfort. If you are experiencing severe pain or infection in a tooth, contact our Walnut Creek, CA office right away to learn about the benefits of modern root canal treatment.
How Does A Root Canal Work?
At Life Dental & Orthodontics, we use modern techniques to enhance patient comfort during root canal procedures. Local anesthesia is always administered, and sedation options are available for additional relaxation. Once the tooth is numb, a protective covering is placed over the teeth and gums. The infected tooth is then accessed through a small hole in the top of the tooth. The pulp, containing nerve tissue and blood vessels, is removed, and the area is carefully cleaned and reshaped using specialized tools. The tooth is sealed with a durable material and filled with a soothing substance to aid in the healing process.
