If you think you might require a root canal, Lume Dental is here to help! Root canal therapy can save your natural teeth from extraction and prevent the need for further intervention in the future. At Lume Dental, we are pleased to offer root canal therapy so you can achieve the optimal oral health and wellness you deserve!
The primary purpose is to save your natural tooth from extraction. A Root Canal becomes necessary when the nerve of a tooth is affected by infection, injury, or decay. The most common reasons for a tooth becoming compromised, and thus requiring root canal therapy, is because of a crack or fracture, deep cavities, or an injury to the tooth. In order to save the tooth from extraction, the pulp, which is the living tissue inside the tooth, nerves, bacteria, and any infection or decay are removed, and the resulting space is filled with special medicated dental materials, restoring the tooth to its full function. An injured or compromised tooth that is left untreated can lead to extreme pain, a dental abscess or possible tooth loss, so it is important to seek intervention early on.
Root canal therapy is often the treatment of choice to save a tooth that otherwise would require extraction. While patients often believe that removing a problematic tooth is the only solution, that is not always the case. Extracting, or “pulling,” a tooth will often be more costly and can cause significant problems for adjacent teeth. It is a highly successful treatment option and usually lasts a lifetime, though on occasion, a tooth may have to be re-treated due to new infections.
