Saving a Tooth with Root Canal Therapy
When a tooth has damaged or infected roots, the best treatment to save a tooth is a root canal. In times past, a tooth with this problem was extracted. But it has been proven that saving a tooth, if at all possible, is important to avoid other dental problems.
Dr. Gentry is experienced in this procedure and has successfully saved and returned many teeth to full functionality once again. The pulp within the interior of the tooth is removed, and a special filling material replaces it. Sometimes a crown is also placed over the tooth for additional strength.
No longer is this procedure painful and something patients want to avoid. With modern anesthetics and advanced techniques, patients find it very manageable.
