The Truth About Root Canals

Are You Avoiding Root Canal Treatment?

When severe decay or damage occurs and threatens your oral health, a root canal may be necessary to keep you from losing the affected tooth. The consequences of prolonging or avoiding root canal therapy go far beyond your smile – loss of jaw bone tissue and even systemic illness may result if early treatment is not received.

You can, however, keep your smile from suffering the effects of tooth loss and beyond. Dr. Patel is highly skilled at providing root canal therapy and will put you right at ease with his gentle touch and advanced expertise when a root canal is required to save your tooth.

Dissolving the Negative Reputation of Root Canals

Despite popular belief, root canal visits are not painful and are really no different than being seen for a filling or crown. A root canal removes infected, diseased tissue from within the tooth, restoring health and preventing further oral problems. During the procedure, Dr. Patel expertly fills the center portion and canals of your tooth roots with a special material, allowing your tooth to fully heal before placing a permanent restoration. Root canal-treated teeth tend to be brittle, and often require crowns for coverage and protection.
