Root canal treatments can save your teeth and avoid the need for dental extractions. Root canal treatments are generally recommended if tooth decay has reached the nerve or there is a deep filling on the tooth that now causes throbbing pain or there is an infection present or if the tooth has suffered some kind of trauma.
Root canal treatments are often associated with the stigma that they cause extreme pain. However, with modern technologies and our caring well trained dentists pain can be eliminated and the discomfort minimized.
Generally root canals require at least 3 appointments in order to remove the nerve, shape and clean the canals and finally fill the canals. This is a very basic summary of what can be an intricate process. However, our Dentists at Cornubia Dental will keep you comfortable and informed all the way and, if required, will consult specialists to ensure you receive the best possible outcome.
