Root Canals

Raleigh Root Canal Services

Without a doubt the most feared words in the dentist’s office are “You’re going to need a Root Canal.” While this process sounds scary, the professionals at Smiles At Glenwood are experienced at completing root canals as painlessly and efficiently as possible. A root canal is a procedure designed to save a tooth that is badly decayed or has become infected. Removing the nerve and pulp, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed using the latest in dental technology. Without treatment, decayed or severely damaged teeth can often lead to abscesses, creating a whole new world of problems.

Removal of the tooth’s nerve and pulp will not negatively affect the daily function of the tooth. It will still have the same strength and abilities. The only downside is that the tooth will no longer be sensitive to hot or cold. The decay leading to a tooth requiring a root canal can be caused by many different factors, including:

  • Irritated Pulp and Nerve
  • Infected Nerve Due to Tooth Decay
  • Repeated Dental Procedures on a Tooth
  • Larger Than Normal Fillings
  • Tooth Crack or Chip
  • Trauma to the Tooth, Jawbone, or Face

A root canal is not an enjoyable procedure, however sometimes it is a necessary one.
