What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure aimed at preserving severely damaged or infected teeth. At Sarcee Family Dental, our professional team performs root canal therapy with precision and care to relieve pain and restore oral health. During the root canal procedure, your dentist meticulously removes the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and then fills the empty space with a biocompatible material. This process effectively eliminates the source of infection, prevents its spread and preserves the natural tooth structure thereby avoiding the need for an extraction.
In addition to providing relief from severe pain and discomfort associated with tooth infections or damage, root canal therapy restores oral function, allowing you to eat, speak and smile comfortably. Preserving the natural tooth through root canal therapy also maintains dental alignment and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting, preserving the overall integrity of your smile.
