Root Canal
At Lakemoor Dental
Choose a root canal to save and revive your smile. This restorative treatment tackles severe decay and infection, preserving your natural teeth and boosting your overall well-being.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure designed to repair and save a tooth that is severely decayed or infected. During the procedure, the infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is then filled and sealed to prevent further infection. This allows you to retain your natural tooth and restore its function and appearance.
Why Is a Root Canal Necessary?
Root canal treatment is essential for individuals experiencing severe tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures. By addressing these symptoms promptly, you can prevent the spread of infection and preserve your natural tooth.
