Root canal therapy enables our patients to save a damaged or infected tooth that would otherwise be lost. Impact injuries or deep cavities may damage the soft, live part of a tooth and allow bacteria to enter. Root canal therapy enables a patient to retain this tooth’s function for many years to come.
Root canal therapy begins by cleaning out the decayed or infected tissue in the canal which passes through the tooth’s root. This canal is then filled with sterile material. The top of the tooth is then sealed up. A crown is recommended after this treatment to strengthen the tooth.
In Dr. Cisneros’ capable hands, it’s possible to provide root canal treatment while keeping a patient relaxed and comfortable. It’s important to every person at Advanced Dental Care & Orthodontics that our patients are able to comfortably receive the care they need.
