Root Canals

Uh oh! Did someone say “root canal”? Well if they did, it’s okay. Root canals no longer deserve a bad reputation. Today’s procedures are nothing like those infamous stories we’ve all heard. We consider it our duty to make you comfortable during your visit. That goes for routine visits as well as times when you have a toothache. Don’t let your fears keep you from receiving necesary dental care.

Why You Might Need a Root Canal

Sometimes a toothache is more than just a sensitive tooth and might require more attention than home remedies. During your visit to Tosh Dental Group, it might be determined that your toothache is caused by problems with the pulp of the aching tooth, which is the very center of the tooth itself. If this is the case, then a root canal would most likely be the recommended solution for your toothache.

Benefits of a Root Canal

During root canal treatment, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected. It’s then filled and sealed. Afterward, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling for protection. The tooth then functions like normal again.

In more complex cases, Dr. Tosh may refer to an endodontist, or dentist who specializes in root canal treatment. Often these doctors have access to specialized instruments as well as a practice focused on the specific procedure. We have the utmost confidence in these specialists.
