A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage within the pulp of a tooth. At Golden Valley Dental Care, we perform root canals to save teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted due to severe decay, infection, or trauma. Despite the common misconception, root canal treatments are relatively painless and can relieve discomfort caused by tooth infections.
During a root canal procedure, Dr. Lawrence Nguyen, DDS, will remove the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth, clean and disinfect the area, and then seal the tooth with a special material. Once the root canal is complete, a dental crown is often placed over the tooth to restore its strength and appearance. Root canal therapy is a highly effective way to save a tooth and prevent further complications.
If you are experiencing severe tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity, it could be a sign of an infection that may require a root canal. Dr. Nguyen and our team provide compassionate care to ensure that your treatment is comfortable and effective. Don't let dental issues go untreated—schedule an appointment today.
