Root canal therapy has a very unfair reputation; despite what many patients think, it’s actually no more uncomfortable than other routine procedures. On the other hand, the toothaches and infections that the procedure is meant to treat can be extremely unpleasant, to say the least. If you want to save your natural smile and enjoy life without constant pain in your mouth, get in touch with Dr. Le at Mios Dental to ask about root canal therapy in Carrollton, TX.
First, we’ll make sure your mouth is completely prepared for the treatment. That means ensuring that the area is numb and that the tooth is protected from saliva with a dam. Once we’re ready, we’ll expose the pulp beneath the tooth’s enamel; the soft tissue will be taken out, and all bacteria inside will be removed during a thorough cleaning. The goal is to get rid of the current infection while also preventing a new one from occurring. A crown will need to be placed at some point after the treatment to strengthen and protect the weakened tooth.
