Save Your Tooth and Restore Your Oral Health with Root Canal Treatment
Tooth infections should always be taken seriously. Left unchecked, the condition will only worsen and could result in you losing that tooth. We can treat your oral infection with root canal therapy at Scenic Bluffs Dental in Prescott, Wisconsin. Root canal treatment can repair your infected tooth and curtail the spread of bacteria to save your tooth from extraction.
Root Canal Treatment Process
Contrary to popular opinion, root canals are not complex, painful procedures. Drs. Jay and Clare will give you anesthesia to keep you comfortable during your treatment. The process entails drilling your infected tooth to access the infected pulp and nerves within the tooth chamber. These are removed to stop the spread of bacteria to healthy teeth. We’ll then cleanse your tooth and tooth canals of remaining bacteria and fill them with gutta-percha material to protect your tooth against future infection.
Once your tooth is filled, we’ll cover it with a dental crown to strengthen its structure. Decayed teeth are generally weak, even after treatment. A crown will fortify your tooth so it can continue to be used.
Oral Health Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
Even one decayed or damaged tooth can threaten your oral health. By eliminating the infection and repairing the damage, root canal treatment helps restore your oral health. Other oral health benefits include the following:
- Saves natural teeth – Root canals help repair decayed teeth to save them from extraction. Saving a natural tooth preserves your smile, your ability to chew, and your ability to speak clearly. It also saves you the time and expense of replacing that tooth later
- Keeps infection from spreading – Root canals curtail the spread of infection to healthy teeth and other parts of your body
- Restores tooth function – A tooth that’s had root canal therapy can continue to be used for years to come
