Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment Can Alleviate Pain & Prevent Extraction

Sometimes, a simple toothache or minor tooth pain will turn into something more serious. Are you currently experiencing pain that won't go away? Do you feel like you may be a good candidate for root canal treatment? If so, Dr. Aric Petersen and his team are here to help. He understands all too well the pain and suffering caused when the inside of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected. Left untreated, this will lead to a dental abscess. It is best to get the problem remedied as soon as possible, instead of letting the pain make the problem worse.

A typical root canal procedure involves the removal of the nerve, known as the pulp, and the cleaning of the affected area before filling and sealing the inside of the tooth. Depending on the presence of tooth decay or structural weaknesses, a crown may be needed in some cases. Whatever the circumstances around your root canal, you need a trusted dental specialist to oversee the procedure to ensure the best possible outcome. Learn more about the steps of a root canal procedure.
