The benefits of undergoing the root canal procedure with your skilled dentist in Kennesaw
Most people view the root canal procedure as one that is uncomfortable at best. Through the years, so many frightening stories about this treatment have been passed down that there are more misconceptions about root canal therapy than truths. In reality, this restorative procedure has several benefits, starting with the elimination of painful infection. Should you face the root canal procedure with your Kennesaw dentist, you can feel confident that dental technology has advanced to a point where this treatment can be stress-free.
At the very center of every tooth is the root canal and pulp chamber. In this small area, the pulp tissue, nerves, and blood vessels are contained. If a tooth has been extensively damaged, perhaps by an untreated cavity, bacteria will enter the pulp chamber, causing infection and persistent pain. In order to get rid of pain, the infection must be treated. The only way to do this is to remove the tissue, as well as the damaged portion of the tooth. The fact that infection lies in the root canal leads to the name of the procedure.
Root canal therapy is performed under local anesthesia. Being completely numb in the area of the damaged tooth, patients feel nothing more than what they may feel when having a dental filling placed. The biggest difference between the two procedures is simply time in the chair. During this procedure, all infected tissue is removed and the inner portion of the tooth is cleaned and sterilized. In order to prevent further invasion of bacteria, the root canal is sealed, and the tooth is covered with a temporary crown until the permanent crown is made in our dental laboratory.
The primary benefit of root canal therapy is that the pain of infection ends. The treated tooth is healthier, and surrounding teeth are protected against the progression of infection. This tooth, covered with a crown, is restored to full strength and the smile looks and feels natural.
Your dentist in Kennesaw is skilled in performing gentle, effective root canals. Contact our office today to schedule your appointment with Dr. Breckley or Dr. Vo.

Dr. Vo and Dr. Breckly are absolutely fantastic! Never worry about another painful trip to the dentist if you are going to see them. They make sure you are never in any pain throughout the entire procedure. I just had my wisdom teeth removed and Dr. Vo did a fabulous job, as always. I had four impacted wisdom teeth and they were out before I knew it. I was up and eating solid food the very same day, and could have been back at work if I needed to. My stitches fell out within a few days and everything healed up much faster than any of my friends who saw other doctors. I stayed awake for the procedure, and I would say that it definitely is much better than being put to sleep. It has a faster heal time and less discomfort. My face honestly didn't even swell. I've gone to Dr. Vo and Breckly for minor things before and they have always been amazing, but after my great experience with something more major, I know they are by far the two of the best dentists, I have ever seen. -
Dr. Vo and Dr. Berkley are the ONLY dentists we see. Dr. Vos taken care of my parents, my husband, our daughter and son, and myself for the past 7 years. We love the care and the personal relationship she establishes with her patients. She takes the time to get to know us, our families, our dental concerns, which is NOT the usual in the business.Thank you for everything. Dr. Berkley is very attentive and gently with my children. We came in for a cleaning yesterday and they did great under his medical care. The staff is extremely professional and willing to help. Amazing team. If you have been afraid of the dentist, check them out and theyll change your mind about dentistry.

My family and I love Dr. Vo. I would suggest this practice to anyone who wants a dentist and staff that truly care about your health and will go above and beyond the typical dentist. I followed Dr. Vo from a previous office, and although this office is farther away, it is worth it because of how caring the staff is.

Switched to 32 dental after Dr. Breckley left Dr. Goetees practice. Great staff, and nice space. They use the latest technologies and have K cups in the waiting room!

Dr. Vo is fantastic. She is patient, knowledgeable, and excellent at her job, and most importantly, she takes time to answer your questions and explain any concerns she has about your teeth, so you really know what\'s going on. It inspires me to take better care of my teeth. By far, she is the best dentist I have been been to, and I highly recommend her. No more of those dime-a-dozen dentists for me!
