Root canal therapy, often referred to as endodontic treatment, is a crucial procedure offered by Dr. Cory Rabonza and associates. This treatment becomes necessary when the soft tissue inside the tooth, known as the pulp, becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, faulty crowns, or a crack or chip in the tooth.
The Process of Root Canal Therapy Involves:
- Removing the infected or inflamed pulp.
- Thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth.
- Filling and sealing it to prevent further infection.
Contrary to common misconceptions, root canal therapy is not painful; it actually alleviates the intense pain caused by the infection and helps save the natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction and preserving the patient’s smile and oral function.
