WHAT IS ROOT CANAL THERAPY

Cracked or decayed teeth are generally corrected with a filling or a different form of restoration if they are discovered and treated in time. However, if the damage reaches the core of the tooth, also called the pulp, root canal therapy is sometimes needed to save the tooth from extraction. A root canal is an advanced procedure offered at Alliance Family Dentistry to remove infected tooth pulp and seal off the damaged tooth to restore oral function. Dr. Dasha Frias Landa corrects abscessed or internally damaged teeth utilizing root canal treatment and offers sedation options to further increase your comfort. If you notice a painful or infected tooth, call our Naples, FL practice to find out about the benefits of root canal therapy.

The Root Canal Process
At our Naples, FL office, root canal therapy is done with local anesthesia and occasionally coupled with sedation techniques to increase your comfort. When the tooth has lost feeling, a screen covering will be placed in the patient's mouth to shield the surrounding oral structures. The infected area will then be exposed via a small hole created in the upper part of the tooth. The pulp, which makes up the nerves and blood supply for the tooth, will be removed. The region will be reshaped with advanced endodontic tools before being thoroughly sanitized. Dr. Frias Landa will then seal off the affected tooth using a high-quality substance and finish it off with a sedative filling to promote the healing process.
