Root Canals
A root canal has a nasty reputation, but it shouldn't! As a conservative alternative to tooth extraction, root canal therapy is highly desirable. Consider this: an internally damaged tooth could be pulled and replaced, or it could be saved with root canal therapy. The choice seems clear. Modern tools and sedation make root canal therapy a comfortable experience, and often, Dr. Brady can complete the procedure in one visit.
A deep cavity, fracture, or other trauma can allow infection to penetrate a tooth's sensitive inner pulp (or nerve). The resulting pain and pressure can become intense. Without professional intervention, the infection can spread into the blood stream and cause significant health concerns.
If you experience dental discomfort, we encourage you to address it promptly. Dr. Brady can eradicate early-stage infection with a root canal to preserve your damaged tooth. He'll clean out the tooth's canals, fill them with a biocompatible material, then seal the tooth with a custom crown. You'll avoid the hassle of extraction and the expense of tooth replacement. Furthermore, your surrounding teeth and bite will be kept intact, which is always a great option. If you've been told you need a root canal or extraction, call us for a second opinion today.
