Restorative Non Surgical Root Canals
Non-surgical root canal therapy is a highly effective way to save a tooth that has become infected or injured. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning, and sealing the root canal system to prevent further infection. This treatment is often recommended when a tooth’s pulp becomes damaged due to trauma, deep decay, cracks, or previous dental procedures. Symptoms that may indicate the need for a root canal include visible injury or swelling of the tooth, temperature sensitivity, or pain in the tooth or gums. This approach offers a conservative and effective way to preserve your natural tooth and avoid more invasive procedures.
Elevating Your Dental Health
If you are experiencing pain or discomfort due to an infected tooth, non-surgical root canal treatment offers an effective, minimally invasive option to address the issue. The procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia and may also include nitrous oxide for additional comfort. The process usually requires one or more visits, depending on the severity of the infection. Opting for this treatment can help you save your natural tooth, restore your oral health, and prevent the need for extraction and tooth replacement. Dr. Hu’s expertise ensures a smooth, effective treatment process, allowing you to get back to your normal routine quickly and with minimal discomfort.
