ROOT CANAL THERAPY

A root canal treatment can save a damaged or infected tooth and keep your smile healthy for years to come. If your tooth becomes inflamed, a root canal may be the right solution. Infection can happen when bacteria enter your tooth through a crack or deep cavity. If you experience any problems with a tooth filling, notice your gums swelling or feel extra sensitivity while eating, it’s best to contact Stratton Family Dental right away.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Modern methods and the latest technology have made root canals more comfortable and effective than ever before. The process for root canal therapy is simple and only takes about an hour to complete. During the treatment, Dr. Cure will apply a local anesthetic, so you won't feel any pain during treatment. He then will carefully remove the infected part of your inner tooth, called the dental pulp. Afterward, he will carefully shape, fill, and seal your tooth to fortify it and promote healing. Healing is typically minimal, with patients enjoying a healthy smile again in no time.
