Root Canal Therapy
Are you dealing with tooth pain that just isn’t getting better? If you have an infection in your inner tooth, a root canal may be the most effective way to treat it. Our dentist in Corvallis OR might recommend this treatment to ease your symptoms — and stop the infection from getting worse.
Why Might You Need a Root Canal?
This kind of endodontic treatment involves removing infected pulp or tissue from infected teeth. Doing this helps prevent infections from spreading to other areas and allows you to keep your natural tooth. Our dentist might recommend this kind of care if you have any of these symptoms:
- Ongoing toothache
- Swelling in your gums
- A feeling of pressure when you press down on the tooth
- Increased sensitivity to hot and cold drinks and foods
What Happens During a Root Canal?
Our dentist removes damaged or infected matter from inside the tooth, then disinfects the area to prevent bacteria from getting in. After that, your tooth will be filled and resealed to prevent it from becoming infected again.
